Just ordered my seat and it will take at least 2 weeks before I get it. The guy at Corbin who helped me told me that he has sold a few already. How about someone giving a review in the seat? Thanks.

I also ordered mine on 6/25 waiting for a review if someone has the seat already. :popcorn:

I ordered mine about 4 weeks ago, and was told yesterday that it shipped in the morning. Hope to have it here in Illinois by Wednesday. The dealer is going to install it along with some other parts that he he gave me a "discount" on when I bought the bike. I will review it after I get some miles on it. I hope it feels as good as it looks on line!

Mine is there for the prototype work, but I haven't picked it up yet. I'll have it next weekend.

I'm VERY interested in smuggler version. Please put the pictures on as soon as you can. I have been following your progress so far. Mostly I ride solo so smuggler could be the way to go for me. Thanks.

I rode mine today with new Corbin (about 200 miles) and absolutely love it. My wife hasn't got a chance to ride yet, but she likes the way the passenger backrest feels over the stock. (Sitting on it in the garage.) I also got quite a few compliments on the way it looks today! Very satisfied customer!

Hey BLACKBETTY12 with such a deep driver seat pocket(well from the pictures it looks deep) does the driver backrest help or not worth the money ?

Blackbetty12 did your riding position change with the Corbin?

I had to get a longer forward adjustment bolt for the rider backrest, but yes works very well. The backrest adjustment hardware comes with 4 different bolt lengths, but none of which seemed to work for my vertically challenged self! Not a big deal though, just had to get a longer bolt.

Yes! I now feel like I sit down in the bike as opposed to sitting on top, if that makes sense. Like I said before, the seat is stiffer but very comfortable for me. I think is adds a very nice look to an already cool looking new wing!

My main complaint about the standard F6b was : compared to the GL18, I felt very secure riding the GL18 and not the F6b because I felt I was sitting 'in' the GL18, rather than 'on' the F6b! I thought I was the only one feeling like that!

On the GL18, I could really feel the lower back support from the bucket seat. In standard from, it was perfect for me. On the F6B, I felt the backrest wasn't in contact with my lower back. Not only was it further away, it was sloping away from me!

I have a 30'' inseam.

Was the corbin tailor made to your specs? if so, can this be doe via email?

I supposed it could. They have an understanding how the seat fits with a couple of people at Corbin and they could adjust the fit before sending.. You should contact them and ask.

You do sit on top of a F6B...I had one inch of foam removed and added back one inch of softer foam so now I sit in my F6B...much better!!!
