I know it may take a little while to get broken in but based on your initial impression are you happy with the Corbin low seat?
Is the seating panel on your seat black carbon-fiber leather?
Also curious, do you have risers on your bike?

Thanks!

Below is what I copied from my Corbin receipt: Not quite sure I could render my full opinion on the Corbin seat yet. I've owned a Corbin in the past and wasn't very happy with it, but that bile was a" bar hopper". I am running the A1 Risers and they are well worth the expense.Item No. = #CVR-GNL

Product = Cover Design

Options = Green Stitching - <br>Green Logo - <br>Black welts - <br>Black Grabber seating - <br>Black sides Price = 0.00 Qty. = 1 Total Price = 0.00

I don't see an item# on their website (i.e. #CVR-GNL). Is the following what you have?
American made 6061 billet aluminum risers 2" up -1" back — A1 Cycles

Thanks!!!

That item # was for the Corbin seat. Yes the link to the risers is what I have.

Is it much of a pain getting the original risers off? (i.e. accessing the bolt that holds the risers) Looks like it could be a tight fit getting a tool underneath them.

It's not too bad...only 1 bolt on each riser that holds them on. Tank off the bars first and rest them on the tank with a towel cover the tank for protection.

Sorry, two more questions and I will stop pestering you.
- Did the A1 riser impact your view of the screen?
- Do you recall the torque value for the two bolts that hold the risers? Or maybe that is provided in the instructions that come with the risers?

Sure wish HD would release a paper version of the service manual (94000784). Not a big fan of having to spend $22 for access to an online version that is only good for one week. :-)

No impact at all with the screen. I'm 5'7". I did not officially torque the riser bolts...just blue loctite and tightened them as far as I could go. Hell it isn't like they're head gaskets or anything like that.

I'd be curious on your opinion of the stock vs Sundowner seat as well.

Thanks.
