Here's the deal. I have the corbin seat on my bike and after 6000 miles it still doesn't feel broken in. Within the first 30 min I start to go numb in all the wrong places. I think the roundness of the nose of the saddle is the culprit so I called Corbin tried to Gentlemanly tell the YOUNG lady on the other end of the phone what was going on and they want me to bring it up to them in Daytona so all good. Now keep in mind I have quite a few miles standing up on the Connie" Gives you that whole flying on the front of the Titanic feeling" But it shouldn't be necessary. Anyone else ever noticed the numbness on the corbin?
Yep. I have both the Corbin and the Sargent. I put the Sargent back on. The Corbin changes the seating position too much. I want to like it. I love the leather and the workmanship. I hate the position. I told them when I ordered I didn't need it made so you sit so far back as many had complained about since I am not overweight. They took my measurements, then delivered a seat made like they always do.
I had it on last week and took my new wife for a ride. We rode a little over 300 miles. I was hurting, but when we got off the bike, my wife immediately sat down on the asphalt, stretching her legs out and said, "Burn it!" She said she was more comfortable sitting on the driveway. I did tell her that her seat had never been sat on so it needed to break in, but honestly I think my wife would break first.
As long as you are on good roads and have the suspension set plush, the seat is a killer.
I want to like it, I really do, but the Sargent is much more comfortable and positions you better.
