I ordered the Seargant, after having one on my VFR-800, immediately returned it. Just doesn't work on the C-14. The Corbin I ordered has been the best aftermarket seat I've ever purchased. It really depends on your weight, I'm 220 and the seat's amazing. Go Irish!Thank you for posting this. I was about to pull the trigger on a sargent for $460 shipped from ebay. I'm about 220 also and 6'2"

I had a Sargent modular regular height, it was an improvement but not good enough. I tried to modify it myself, and that didn't work so I sent it off to Russel, and I love it....I'm thinking about going this route as well. I want to keep my Spencer modded seat with HT Moto cover for daily riding, but need something more for traveling. I just hate the thought of buying a seat and then sending it off to have it torn apart and rebuilt.
Lots of guys think the Corbin is hard, but I just think they're not heavy enough to "squish" it down. The Corbin totally removes the annoying forward lean that the stock, and the Seargant have, pushing your junk into the tank. LOVE the Corbin, but it puts you a little farther away from the bars. At 6'2", your arms may be long enough that it wont matter, I had to add the Murph risers, it's now perfection! Go Irish!
Looks like I can get the two piece corbin new for $489 directly from corbin but I see they have dealers. Is it better to go direct to corbin or a dealer?
I'll give that a shot. Thanks.
I get a discount on all parts I buy through my local dealer because I give them so much business with my bikes. I bought my Corbin through my dealer and saved over a $100 vs buying through Corbin direct, I also have a credit line with my dealer so I didn't have to pay until it arrived, which is nice since Corbin takes almost a month to build and deliver your seat...
