So now its been a fee months and a few thousand miles. Here are my findings: Cons- This seat holds its form really well, it doesn’t seem to sag or flatten out on any side. This seat is very firm, and not recommended for heave riders. Im 6’5 300# and my suggestion is that its a bar hopper/stunting seat and nothing else. I wouldn’t recommend it for distance riding due to it being so rough, even the back wall is extremely firm. I normally get about 100miles before i start doing the hot potato in the seat. I feel like the saddle is pretty this, thus the firmness. I think that if the rider is -200lbs the experience might be different, but its just not meant for distance at all. The tongue is pretty short and my seat pops out of the tank slot every time I get on/off, no matter how far I push it forward. Pros- the stitch quality is excellent, the ability to custom the seat at no extra cost was a big reason I got it. The quality of material is great as well. The seat pan spacers help the seat fit firmly to the frame. Im pretty sure the seat foam will hold its shape for yrs to come. All in all, the seat was built really well, but I wouldn’t get it again. This saddens me because its my first Corbin and I expected more from it based on all Ive read on them over the years.
did you ever figure out the fitment issue? my widowmaker i just got from them will not slide the whole way forward and line up with the seat bolt.. also, good god you sound so much like John C Reilly
Logan Peterson well i have the same issue, from what I've read on their instructions it was meant to fit tight and we should lube the rubber fittings to slide into place. This is bullshit, when i ride it pops out of place...i will add an extension on mine either by bolt or weld
So, after some time and rides, what would you say is the furthest you could go? I know you said you can't really do more than 250 a day, but what say you now?
Thomas Strong so I've gone 100+ a few times and about 50 a day with no issues, back and tailbone pain is gone, and butt isn't numb but it is still pretty stiff and expect it to remain at this level. However I've noticed it sits me probably 2+ inches back from stock solo, but i feel higher..maybe an inch. Also i had the death wobble over 80mph and its gone now lol...btw i will have to get a tongue extension, it keeps popping out.

I would like to edit this statement after adding Legends shocks...WOW, such a huge difference and I love the seat
@@ryanhardin5166 so what do you think now that you've added the legends?
@@savagewalker1able that bike is gone but they were great, now have a road glide with legends and I still love them.
Nice!
Thanks for reviewing it! Designing mine
Hello Texas Made love the seat I was wondering if you did Light sliver stitching or medium silver stitching thanks.
Stitching is light, trim is silver carbo....made it match pin striping on bike
Awesome ! Nice review
