Just picked up a lightly used 2016 Ultra Limited after selling my 2015 SGS and putting 50k miles on it. Ready to start over again I guess. I rode the SGS with the stock seat for the first 30k miles before sending to MCC for memory foam. I loved the seating position in relation to the distance from the bars. I'm 6'1".
On the Ultra I found the stock seat is cramping me close to the handlebars and way too spongy. I want a Corbin seat this time around and I've searched thread after thread for details.
Question: Will the Corbin dual tour seat for the Ultra sit me a tad further away from the bars like I want? I saw the solo touring seat they offer and looking at that too, but really want to know about the dual tour. I need to be further away from the handlebars just a tad. Not interested in any other seats, just Corbin.
This is so frustrating when you're about to drop $1k on a seat setup. I called Corbin to ask all of these questions and they give such a generic answer, but the guy did state how they obtain their measurements, so I tried that and well...you know, first hand experience is much better, so the reason I am asking. The Corbin dude couldn't really give me a solid answer.
I just want to sit back about 1 inch or so, literally as if I was in my truck and slid the seat back...that's it LOLOL.
Just to add some closure to the thread. Seat came yesterday. Rode today. Yes, the seat sits you back a tad and gets rid of the poof squishy back side. Love it!
