Default Corbin Solo

I was thinking of getting the Corbin Hollywood solo for my nightster but it's $360. The locking feature looks pretty sweet on it though. Is it worth the money or is there something else comporable?

I have it on my sporty and it looks great and feels even better. I highly recommend the seat. You can get it for much cheaper on ebay than at Corbin's site... especially if you don't mind a used one.

I love the looks of it on my bike, but for long rides, it's really not that comfortable. way better than stock though. It's a pretty firm seat. Maybe my tastes will change someday but for right now, I go for looks instead of comfort.

I have one on mine. I personally like it. But, I have found that most people do not like the feel of a Corbin. They are very firm. I like it because it has no pressure points on me. Mine feels better each time I ride, I have over 8000 miles on my seat so far.

If you want a soft squishy seat, do not get a Corbin.

I love my Corbin, it is my second seat for my second bike. I agree it is stiff.
