- Corbin Gunfighter is today's subject I know the Corbin might not look the best on a retro sport, but does the comfort make this gunfighter worth it?

Nice sharing good luck conten,,,👍👍👍 Good luck always, hopefully the channel will grow more
Thank you!
Great review. I'm riding to the ocean tomorrow so I'll review my Corbin also. I do know the quality is fantastic, and my fit and installation was great. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck Bob. From what everyone is saying 1700 miles seems to be the break in point on them.
*_Looks like a great seat. I know JP1970 Loves the Corbins. I keep tossing around the idea of putting one on the GSA._*
Hahahah he’s obsessed with Corbin
@@ChopperFett He should have gotten you the discount. LOL
Extending your ride time with this new seat is well worth it to me, great review Brett 🙂🏍️👍
Thanks man!!! Sometimes sacrifice some looks for comfort
nice Chopper !!! i had to dump my Corbin it was to heavy!!! enjoy the day
I didn’t speak to that but it is a bit heavier but I’m not racing anyone lol
The Bagster pushing you a little too far forward would be the least of my worries - but then again I'm still a little bitter 🤣
Bahahaha we had seen a different side of Walt in that video hahaha
I think it looks fine. As long as your comfortable thats what counts.
Here here! Lol. Get that Ryker bizz sorted yet?
@@ChopperFett I think so lol... Got a new video about it.
*Amazing. Thank you so much for share this amazing video frd ☕🙏*
Thank you!
Looks fine to me.Anything that gets you back on the bike quicker, is a good thing.
This is 100% accurate lol
You can totally do rivets without sending it back to corbin, drill and pop rivets, boom done! Nice seat man!
I’d drill through the seat
I loved the Corbin I had on my Valkyrie. They make great seats even though they are expensive. Good video Brett!
So expensive but I'm starting to find out they are worth it!
Man I like the style of the new seat I think it looks very cool with that one on. Both of my bikes have a very similar style to this new one of yours.
Mmmhmmm RK you need to come stateside with Bolty next time and we can all ride.
@@ChopperFett good plan man
I like the stock seat on that bike
That seat is really nice. I heard that the Corbins are a little on the hard side until they get broken in. Guessing cause it’s tight locking in, that’s the reason it’s a pain to unlock.
Yep luckily once you know the “trick” it ain’t so bad at all
Good stuff!
I've been torn between the Corbin or Saddlemen for my MT09 lately
Can’t go wrong. I reached out to saddlemen for the Z and no go soooooo Corbin lol
Doesn't look bad man! Maybe a little bulky, but not drastic. As long as you're more comfortable then that's all that matters. Stopping every 40 minutes had to suck!!
Good video Brett!
Yea it was annoying before. I just did 75 minutes the other day on it. Took 5 min test and got another 30 min on the way home so so much better
Just watched the video-/personally, I like the look of it on your bike. As you know I have Corbin seats on both my bikes-much better, but I was surprised about the lock not working quite right and the buzzing. Hmmmmm, hope that settles down. Great video, buddy!
I think the buzzing is just the motor and frame and its used to be deadened by the thick foam of the stock seat.
mine came with my used bike.. super sturdy comfy and looks right at home with the bike
Good review!
I betcha that seat lock will work much easier once the seat is broken in, and the foam and rubber bumpers have compressed somewhat..
I dunno. Perhaps? I’m not sure how it works hahaha
I really like the look of that Corbin. And if it feels good - even better. The stock seat leaves a lot to be desired. For me with the stock seat it's the cut that I find annoying. Where the back of the operator's position meets pillion.
Yep that’s the part that hits my tail and becomes uncomfortable. I do have a cafe seat with about 4in of extra padding I got awhile back. It’s plusher than Corbin but changes the feeling of the bike (floating instead of in it)
I cant see past my saddlemen seat but always one to consider for the future 😎
I do wish Saddlemen offered something for the Z. I’d def try it out if they did
The look is a bit different but I could live with it. See how it feels once you have run up some miles on it. Maybe do a short second review because they do change. Nice honest review. Good luck with it!
Since I’ve filmed this it’s already improved some more. Did 75 miles taking about 1.5 hours and no discomfort in the bum anyway. Could have kept going but “obligations” lol
I have never sat on a Corbin, but heard only good things about them, I think it looks awesome on there.
Thank you!
Corbin 🤤
Drooool indeed
Oh man! I would never ever consider to do this optical cramp to my z900rs. When you don't get along with the very comfortable stock seat then you are a real lost case! That new seat is a real sting in the eye...!
The stock seat was decent at best for me. The look ain’t for everyone and looks 100x better in person. I knew going in it wasn’t going to be for everyone but my ride time has been greatly extended by it. Thanks for the watch though I do appreciate it!
@@ChopperFett don't get me wrong I respect your decision to change the seat though you will have your reasons to do so. But man, it just looks so ugly😖
@@doitdamnit hahah I don’t take it personally man. I do have something else in the works but don’t know if I like it yet or not haha.
My Bonneville SE has a Corbin Gunfighter seat and... meh... it's okay... It looks good with the hump on the bonnie, but it's a hard seat and the Bonnie isn't something I do extended riding on (that's what the BMW is for).
It’s gotten a bit better the last couple rides. Still firm but when compared to the stock seat it’s a better application so far anyway
If you use the latch adjustment washers that come with seat, the seat latches just like the stock seat.
The back hump looks a little odd against the tail, but all in all it looks to be very high quality. I’ve never tried a Corbin before, might have to change that
I’ve always wanted to try a Corbin the Wall for my Dyna but the whiplash speed co is so comfortable
Great review. Gives your bike a bit more Cafe Racer look. I had some of the same quirks with my 'Corbin Gun Fighter and the Lady'. It was hard to put on due to the key latch on my Honda CB500X and the seat being really tight to get on. Same here on the seat vibes. I was wondering if we felt it more since the pan is now hard fiberglass. After close to 2k miles my Corbin is now broken in and plush on the ass. How many miles on your seat?
Probably about 1000 miles on it or so. It’s not toooo firm but mine def ain’t plush yet lol
@@ChopperFett I noticed at 1700ish it gave up the fight a bit more and softened up. I also noticed on my Corbin Yamaha xt250 seat it broke in right around 1700ish as well. May it be the way with your's ✊😎.
@@findingneutral nice thanks for the info. Hoping mine is the same.
@ findingneutrel
I bought a 17 cb500x with 7 miles on it. It has a seat concepts seat /seatcover. I hate it I can only ride for about 20/25. Minutes and that's it. But the WORST thing about the seat is that it takes me 4 or 5 try's to get the front hooks ( on thee seat) to hook properly so it will align right. A total PAIN IN THE ASS. If you couldgive me any feedback I would appreciate it. As soon as I heal from my latest back surgery we are headed to N.M. For a month and will be taking the cb( in the toy hauler( horsetrailer with living quarters) . I may be expecting to much because my other bike ( at this time) is a 1977 KZ650 with an LTD seat.
@marshallcollins8634 Hi Marshall. Firstly, I hope you recover soon. Back pain and surgery are no joke. I've had lots of both... and still do. Ironically just today I took my CB500X out for a long ride. My Corbin is still awesome and comfy as ever. I decided to wait until 7k miles to attempt taking the seat off and putting it back on. Not sure if you saw my video where I mentioned I had installed it wrong initially and it was all jacked up. So I drove to Corbin since it was close by and had them smack it on. The guy actually did this karate chop maneuver to the rear to get it very snuggly latched. The only thing I did was add a couple washers under the rear latch plate on the under side of the seat. Otherwise the latch plate was just out of reach of the rear latch lock. Once karate chopped in it was solid with zero wiggle room. Corbin said once it broke in I might be able to remove those base plate washers, but they still needed to be there even after 7k miles. No biggie. But as far as the front tab slipping into the lower groove and securing in at the base of the fuel tank its very simple now. And I didn't have to karate chop the rear much at all either. So in my opinion it's definitely worth the money. I have a Corbin on my XT250 as well and its made a big difference in comfort there too. If you call maybe ask for Jay Tyger at the Florida office. He is really good at helping you get exactly what you want. He even mailed me material samples to 100% sure the seat was exactly the way I wanted it. I tried using that seat builder thing online to place my order myself, but it was a bit of a pain. So I did both my orders in person over the phone. Hope this information is helpful.
Seats are hard. I like Corbin seat looks but have found them a little hard but I’ve never even looked at their top tear seats.
This one def started more on the firm side but luckily its breaking in
Sorry can't get past the look of the seat on the bike!
I feel ya on the looks. But in person it’s much more tolerable lol
