I thought Corbin's were suppose to have gel in them... Mine is rock hard.

I really like the looks and the seating position of the Hollywood compared to the stock seat, but what good is a seat that after 30 min in making my *** scream for mercy....

I wish i could try a hollywood, my barebones is ok for local rides, but doesn't take long for my A$$ to hurt.

How about the mustang tripper? I hear good things about them as well...

I just love this Bare Bones " UP FRONT " from Lepara As mention before maybe it's cause I only weigh 140lbs.

I agree! The barebones is the best. Maybe would have added the gel insert if I didn't want it as low as possible!

It took 6,500 miles, but my stock solo seat feels darn good now. I have gel pad I use for longer trips.

That's a trip dude...mine is by far the best for me hands down! 500 plus mi.day & never thought about it, put me back & down about an inch. Huge improvement over the stocker, with the stocker I was allways tryin to move around tryin to get more comfortable on long rides (fu**ing miserable), with the hollywood I'm simply planted...not too soft, not too hard, just right! I weigh 190 if weights got anything to do with it? Never noticed a break in, just felt right from the get go. Seats are a real personal liking & all aren't for everybody but from what I've seen & heard the hollywood is more than satisfying for 95% of the buyers! Sucks yours doesn't work for ya!

If you appreciate quality construction, bar none, there's nothing to get used to. When the saddle is sculpted for your a$$, the firmness of the seat is not an issue (unless s person has a boney a$$), and then they would only be comfortable on a sofa. I've had a lot of seats since 1953 and I love this Corbin.
