The Corbin Saddle Cream also helps the stitching keep water out. Mine actually held water in small pools when it got rained on once. I figured the seat was ssoaked inside. I wiped the seat down afterward and rode home. My *** was dry upon arriving home. I guess the saddle cream did its job.

I’ve been debating ordering a classic solo in leather or vinyl as well. I’m leaning towards vinyl myself as it tends to hold its shape better. I’ve had my C&C seat in Mercedes vinyl since 2012 and it looks as good as the day I bought it. Never complained of it being too hot or uncomfortable and never said to myself that I wish it were leather. Most of the used Corbin’s that I’ve seen in leather have the wrinkled worn look to them, JMO. I’ll also be ordering the heated version!

A lot of people won't take the 15 minutes that it takes to condition the leather on their seat. Do it two or three times a year and it will stay in perfect condition.

I have a 17 SGS and am considering putting a Corbin Classic Solo on. How does it sit relative to the stock SG seat (up/down, back/forward)?

Thanks!
