Corbin / Other Seat
Guys-
I think most would agree the seat needs to be upgraded. So having been a prior corbin customer for the last 20 or so years, I took a look at what they came up with.
In my opinion, the current 2 piece Corbin seat, is quite frankly, ugly and would take away from the look of a bike. Actually, for a second there I thought they designed it for a Harley and not a sport bike. Maybe they did.
Anyhow, any other suggestions as to who might have a seat out there that is as good quality wise as a corbin, but a bit more sporty?
Thanks

You're right about that Corbin seat, not at all sporty. I wonder how it feels.
Kawi is going to release a gel seat someday that looks pretty cool. As for others, I don't know of any at this time.
I will say this, the stock seat on the c-14 while not perfect for everyone is the best stock seat I've ever come across. Not bad at all really

I like the stock seat, it needs to have the foam shaved in the back to make is not push you forward. But the foam is the best I have ever felt on a bike.
I love the shape of the Corbin seats, but their foam (if you can call it foam) is hard as concrete. I sent the one on my 12 back multiple times to have softer foam, and they did a beautiful job of reshaping it but it was still hard as a rock and I could only sit on it for about an hour before serious pain.

I did 6 hours on the bike last week and have no problem with the seat..... I do have a sheepskin though..... I am usually never comfortable for too long on any seat, so this one was a surprise..
I dont however like the material it is covered with........ The FJR material seems much nicer...... Key word seems..... I really dont know....
