Default Corbin solo question
I just recently picked up a Corbin solo its a FXD-96s and it looks great but when I ride the edges of the seat cut into my thighs and I am about 5'7" tall and weigh about 180, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem, also the seat doesnt accept the riders backrest,
Thanks alot

I have one on my softail slim and yes I had an issue with the sides only when I put both feet down. I have 500 miles on it and either its breaking in or I'm getting used to it.

Pretty much my experience back when I bought mine in 2004.

If it doesn't you'll have to send it back and have it modified (or have someone local do it). Or just sell it and buy one that does fit you. No use being uncomfortable when riding!
