Corbin Classic Solo
I am considering the Corbin Classic Solo for my 17 RGS but really have no idea if it will work for me. I am 5'8" tall with a 30" inseam. Had a stock 16 seat that had been modified by MCC. I have read on the Corbin site that the Classic Close moves you like 2" forward and I am comfortable right where I sit now, I just want to be lower and have the solo with back rest. Hate to throw that much dough at it and then have to have it changed...your thoughts?

I ordered a Corbin classic solo with an oval back backrest last week... for my '17 SGS.
I should have it in on Wednesday. The sales rep on the phone said it might lower me just a fraction of an inch but it shouldn't move me back or forward.

I have a Corbin close solo for my 04 RK. The seat pocket is several inches back from the Harley reach seat. It is in fact right where the stock seat bucket is. As such, I cannot recommend it for smurfs like you and I.
Perhaps the later year versions are better. Though I know of no reason to believe so.

You cannot go wrong with a Corbin seat. As has been suggested, give them a call and discuss your needs and let them tell you what you need.
