Corbin has an amazing saddle, provided you go to corbin and watch it being made... be sure to get all of your kinks out there, because they are notorious for bad customer support. last year (I think maybe the year before) Motorcycle Consumer News published 2 pages of people talking about their experiences with Corbin. That was one of the main reasons I did not go to Corbin, even though he is like 40 minutes away from me.
Corbin also redesigns how the saddle meats the bike, making switching out seats or returning to stock more of a pain.
Returning to stock isn't a pain, the stock seat is a pain, period.
I too believe Corbin seats are well made, the one for the C14 just isn't designed well, for me as far as positioning goes. The Sargent allows me to do day after day of 800 mile days without a problem. It is just comfortable. I honestly thought the Corbin would be as well, but it isn't. If you ride a lot of pothole infested roads, or roads with a lot of bumps at all, soon you will be crying the pain of the backside. I was basically bruised the other day.
The other thing people who carry passengers need to know, is that the Corbin passenger eat is higher than the Sargent. My wife, so far, prefers the Sargent. She didn't have one good thing to say about the Corbin. It is too bad, I actually wanted to experiment with the Corbin some more. Of course every I take the Corbin off and put the Sargent back on, I am pleased at the better position and seat design. If Corbin would flatten the seat a bit more and get rid of some of the dish, it would be better. Leaning over the hump isn't enjoyable. I just wish they would have made their saddle, with their firm foam, in a design that doesn't alter the original ergonomics so much. Had they have done that they would have fewer complaints about their seat. I still love the way it feels when I first sit down, the leather is nice, the build quality is top notch, but the position drastically alters the ergonomics in a way that is simply uncomfortable.
They have made a lot of great saddles over the years, but this isn't one of them. Honestly, I would have to gain at least 70 pounds in order to have enough a** to make the fit right. Who do they think are riding these things anyway, Goldwingers? Cruise ship passengers?
