+1 Took them 5 weeks to deliver but well worth it. My stock height Corbin may be up for sale soon.

Try having really short legs... you can't just slap on a MUCH lower seat, it only goes an inch lower.  But (although it might look strange as you get 4"+), a seat can be as high as needed...

I have average length legs and occasionally I find the stock seat a bit high.   I am thinking about switching to the low Sargent or Kawasaki gel seat.

I wouldn't get the gel seat.  Gel = HARD and it is BURNING HOT in the summer and sub-zero FREEZING in the winter.  The Sargent low is great, though.

I think my Corbin is a little lower than the stock seat. I can flat foot a little easier. It's not much but noticable.

While I originally ordered the "stock height" seat from them, it was about 3/8 inch lower than stock. This one is about 1 1/4" higher than stock. I could use another 1/2" but as it is, I am very happy. With the stock height my legs were cramped and wobbly after riding out a full tank of gas. I have run 5 tanks with the new seat and i am amazed what an ~inch difference makes.
 I still flat foot it with plenty of bend at the knee.
