My wife and I have the two piece Corbin seats with the heated option, and the backrest. Love them. No problems here.
I have the heated seat and smuggler. Hate them both. See below:
a. Corbin seat is made of leather so the thought of sitting on a dead animals skin is repulsive to me.
b. the seat gets very hot in cold weather with the heat switch on. A warm tush gives me diarrhea.
c. Seat eliminates the forward push of the stock seat. I miss having my ? rubbed.
d. The Smuggler has caused me to use my stock side bags once since I got the bike. Damn smuggler is so small that all I can carry are my tools, hat, clothes for 2-days, gps, cell phone, camera, and binoculars.
e. Smuggler paint matches bodywork and causes that damn annoying question, "did the bike come with that"

I have the seat and smuggler also. I don't have the passenger seat as I ride solo. The seat is firmer and a little wider than stock, which for me works much better for long distances. Also by putting my back against the smuggler I find I'm consistently in the most comfortable position so I no longer have to keep shifting around until I find it. My seat isn't heated because I wear pants when I ride and I bought it second hand so that wasn't an option.
Hey how’s it going? I know that this is a rally old post but I’m thinking of buying the modular Corbin with the Smuggler trunk. Is it a simple matter to swap the trunk with the back seat and vice versa?
I called Corbin but they’re so abrupt in their replies and they just tell me to look at the pictures posted online (which are almost useless)....

Can't comment on the Smuggler but absolutely LOVE my Corbin. I've tried OEM, Spencer's mod and Russell Day Long before getting the Corbin. It does take a thousand miles or more to break it in but once broken in, the best seat for the C14 for me.
Pretty good, thanks for asking! (none of these other folks ever ask me this, I'm starting to think that they don't really care. )
I've only sat on a Corbin once and it was like sitting on a rock, so I gotta ask, was it the seat that broke in..or your derriere that broke in?Indeed. I owned one for a year, and with my paltry 155#, only my derriere broke . I never even dented the damn thing. You just cannot make a proper one-size-fits-all seat. Corbins are for 225+ lb guys, IMO. Will never buy one again.
