I find that my legs get sore simply because they are confined to an unnatural position for long periods of time. However, I do notice "hot spots" on the stock seat around the inner part of my thighs. Someone suggested wearing padded bicycling shorts under my gear.
Corbin and Airhawk combo = all day comfort. Butts are very subjective. What one loves another will hate. The problem is trying them all to find the right one will quickly drain bank accounts.
Seems I can't get comfortable on any seat I have tried. Put the stock one back on today and went for a 150 mile to the mountains to cool off. It was only 75 in Big Bear and about 100 where I live. The seat was better than I last remembered but after about 80 miles when I got off the bike my legs were sore. Put the Saddleman back on for the ride tomorrow, so far it is the best but still needs a little more padding, which I think I'll have done to it next week. The ride was great, 150 miles of twisty roads and great temps. Well at least once I got to the mountains. Averaged 44.5 MPG playing in the hills today, not bad. I think it gets better mileage in the heat and higher altitude.
Darn I like the look of that seat!! What model is it? I sold the Corbin I picked up from you in Yuma a while back and went with a Sargent which I have been relatively happy with. Did 2000 mile round trip to the WSB races and the return was one day 800 miles. I don't think any seat would be comfortable for that long.That seat is a saddleman, it is a nice seat and the passenger part is higher than stock and feels great. I just wish they would have used the same padding on the rider part. But like all seats, it takes a little time to break in. I did another 180 miles today and wasn't to bad. I'm still going to have a little bit of memory foam added to it.

I looked at the Cee Bailey seats on the Internet, they look good but I didn't know anyone who tried them. Might have to check with local law enforcement, they ride C14's. How do you like your Rick Mayer seat?
Joe, I am very pleased with the Rick Mayer seat. I have made two long trips, 2000+ miles since having it built and have no complaints. Personally, I found Rick very easy to work with and got a tour of his estate.
Hi Curly,
What size Airhawk do you use with your Corbin, the Medium cruiser? I just bought a Corbin and want to get the right Airhawk, but the Medium is about 2 inches wider than what the Corbin measures on the website.
Thanks in advance.
