What does the corbin classic solo do to the riding position compared to the stock seat on the Road Glide (07 model)? I have long legs as in 36" inseam. The stock seat and H-D drivers backrest are ok but could be better. I ride solo most of the time.
It moved me down and back. Hard to say how much because I changed it out as soon as I got it home and have no intention of putting it back on. Rode about 4 miles total on the stock seat. Didn't want any scratches on the rear fender.
I agree with Biggzed's assessment. I only ride with the corbin solo, except on the occasion(once a year)that the wife wants to ride with me. I did a 5800 mile trip on the stock seat and another on the Corbin. The Corbin is better.
BTW: Biggzed, that's one cool mother of a roadglide! Looks like you might pay a price for the look in long distance comfort, however.

I'm assuming your saying that because of the short windshield? I'm pretty short 5'7" so the shield is about right for me. The seat is really comfortable and the bars aren't bad either. I did about 400 miles the first day I got it and felt fine. Big test will be in a couple of weeks when I go to Hollister. Doing it in one day, about 600 miles.
I'm going out west in a few weeks solo and I am not completely crazy about the stocker with H-D backrest. I will keep the 2-up set up for wife days but am looking for a good solo. I wonder if there is much diff between a mustang and a corbin?
The little experience I've had with Mustang seats (Dad used to have one on his Fatboy) are they raise me up and push you forward. I also don't like how the rear of the seat is formed. The rise at the back is to abrupt for me. I also prefer the leather of a Corbin over the vinyl Mustang also. JMO.
