Hey WG, one other thing...
Not sure if you knew this or not but the lid part of this comes with a "fake" carbon fiber print on it, I called Corbin and they can paint that lid black as well for no additional charge, I think that would look much better IMO...
Definitely better all in "fast black". Just not sure if I can justify the $799 price tag. Especially if I also have to drop $209 for a "part time" passenger seat.
Similar thoughts on the $450 Sargent storage pod which is even smaller. Again, another $200 for that passenger seat.
I currently have a very securely attached, easily mounted/removed, expandable Cargo Endrance tank bag that I keep on the back when I'm not using the side bags. It has tons of storage space (25-40 liters) and was several HUNDREDS of dollars less expensive. I guess I can get the seats now and decide later if I want to pull the trigger on the "additional storage" (if I got the modular Sargent seat).
I just can't decide on Corbin vs. Sargent. Prices are within $20 of each other with heated driver seat and unheated passenger seat, which is probably how I'll go. The Sargent is a little bit more if you go with the modular seat vs. the one piece.
The only Corbin I've ever ridden was on a Ducati 999. It was hard, but pretty comfortable. (My butt was fine, but the rest of me suffered after about 40 miles.) The only Sargent was on a H-D Fat Bob and I really don't recall thinking about the seat at all.
