I really like the look of the Corbin classic solo saddle for my RKC. Anyone have this seat? Does it sit you a little lower than the stock seat? closer / further to the bars?

The other seat I'm looking at is the C&C solo in leather with stitching and for $325 its a pretty good deal.

Thanks for any feedback.

I have it on mine.
It sat me a little farther away from the bars.
Interestingly the seat sits me lower on the bike but it feels higher when stopped. The front of the seat is a little wider than then the stock so when putting my feet down at a stop it feels higher.
It is lower though because I measured it to be sure and compared it with the stock. My problem with the stock seat was, because of the narrow front I felt like i was being pushed into the tank. Not anymore.
I also have the backrest.
There is a lot of bashing Corbin for their customer service but I have never experienced it.
I love mine and it is my fourth Corbin YMMV

 

i have one on order for my RG after i rode my brothers street glide with one very comfy i also ordered the smaller pillion as i usually ride alone and the stock seat i hated the looks of back of the seat,
my heritage i dont even have passenger pegs on my RG is in the backround on my sig pic

 

Yep sits a little lower and slightly rearward of the stock RKC seat.

 

Nice RK alhall88!

Thanks for the replies guys, that's helpful info. The Corbin does look very comfortable.

I was hoping it didn't move me further back because if anything I probably need to be the same as stock or a little closer to the bars. The C&C seat doesn't look as "plush" but they do a forward solo that probably puts me an inch or so forward (I have short legs) so this will probably be my best bet.

 

Got one love the look its a firm seat I only have a few hundred miles can't pass judgment yet I had the horn narrowed I figured if it ends up being too firm I will send it off to mean city to get some padding added. Going to give it a few thousand miles first. It does sit me a bit farther back and lower.

 

Also A Corbin Solo Rider. Been on the bike for four years. The wife rides with me and does not love the pillion. So. I Ordered a Corbin full touring seat at the Lone Star Rally. My big thing was that my riding position does not change. (still waiting on it co come in) I had some custom work done to it so I guess it takes a little longer.


Solo


Full Touring mode

 

Hi Texas, thanks for the pics. Are you saying that the riding position of your corbin was the same as the stock seat? Or did you find it moved you back a little?

 

corbin does market a 'close solo' that does sit you a little further forward than stock. you can also order it from the factory with a 'nose job' to thin the nose out and make it easier to reach the ground.

 

Thanks, I'll check that out.
