Can somebody tell me the difference between the stock seat position and the Corbin position? Up/down, forward/rearward, width?

Thanks!

Just bought a used Corbin and only have about 50 miles. Definitely wider than stock and sits you down lower into the bike. Does not seem to be big difference front/back from the stock.

I have 9000 miles on mine. Lower, wider and gives you more room front to back.

Agree. I needed bar risers and Air hawk and now it is the most comfortable bike I've ever owned.

Actually, when you call Corbin, they will build the seat to your specifications---higher, lower-back-forward, etc... if you know the direction you want to go. They will also do a different color and stitch pattern at no additional cost. I did not know that until recently when I had a seat custom built for my Valkyrie.

lower, wider & much harder. If you like a hard saddle get a corbin.

Can you remove the side covers without removing the Corbin seat?

The Corbin I bought in 2013 doesn't allow me to take the side panels off without taking the seat off. From what I understand Corbin redesigned the seat to allow the panels to be removed with the seat on.

I had no problem removing the side panels with my Corbin.

Thanks for the feed back (re side cover removal). Corbin make great products I will check them out.

I have had a Corbin saddle on my last two bikes. "Wouldn't leave home without it!" It does definitely have a significant break-in period. It was explained to me as breaking in a horse saddle. The longer you set in it the more "Broke-in" it becomes and fit to your butt. That is what I have experienced it both my saddles.

Corbin (in my opinion) is like riding on a 2x8 board. Very hard, if you like hard, go Corbin. I'll never buy another one.
Ultimate is good, Russell Day Long is the best (in my opinion) most comfortable & the best money you'll spend on any upgrade.
