Whom uses a Corbin 250R seat?

ScorpionNinja · April 19th, 2010, 03:21 PM

Hi,

Im curious as to those of you that have a Corbin Seat on your 2008-2010, 250R,

How Well is it during and After Riding for 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hours+ ???

How much Pitch does the Corbin seat put you in? Do you still slide easily into the Gas tank, smashing your Nutz,etc?

Im looking to either mod my seat with gel pad and foam, or get a Corbin 250R Seat, so any Info about you Guys WITH a Corbin seat on your bike will be helpful!

-thanks

I picked up a Corbin earlier this year. It's better than the stock and makes it easier to put more hours into the saddle after you break it in... or get used to it. The pitch is a little difficult to explain... its slightly back... you can get a better grip into the turns which is great.... better balance as well.... you can fritz with foam padding, etc, etc.... but just dig deep and get it right the 1st time with the Corbin. As for the question about "smashing nutz".. I don't have any to worry about.... bikes were built for "women" lol.

Helps about 80% with this issue. I still slide forward some but seems to stop just before this point.

Had mine since Nov., about 2000 miles ago

At first I was not overly impressed with the seat but the more you ride it the better the seat gets. It kind of molds to your butt. The seat is wider so your butt fits better on it. It still slides a bit forward but not as bad as it used to with the stock seat. I also found I could ride a lot longer with out being sore. Over all I am happy that I bought it and feel it was worth it. Once it gets broken in it is really nice.

it takes a little breaking in to get it comfy, but after that it's great... I've posted detailed reviews in a few threads - look down below for the similar threads link... cant' say much about the nutz as I don't have any, but I don't have any problems with sliding into the tank with it...

Whom?

kevlarorc · April 20th, 2010, 12:45 PM

I have one. I liked it at first but now that it's breaking in it's starting to slide my nuts into the tank again. I wish I had gotten them to reshape the back area so I can slide back more. I might have to send it back to them and ask for a reshape. I should have specified this as a problem when I first ordered it. I find it pretty hard to slide back on the seat so I can get a good tuck on the highway. It just wants to slide me forward again. It's still more comfy than the stock seat though.
