Default New Seat and Backrest

Picked-up my new Corbin solo and backrest yesterday and replaced my HD Sundowner Solo. First test ride was rough. I realized the padding in the sundowner absorbs better than the Corbin. Raised the air pressure on my rear shocks from 10 - 15 lbs and I was back in business. The Corbin Solo brings me down around an inch and I sure appreciate that. The lines of the corbin are more compatible with the bikes lines than the bulky Sundowner. But the backrest...THE BACKREST!! It is awesome! It is night and day. Felt very comfortable, secure, and had more freeedom in arms and legs. Next I'll add the highway pegs and large screen tv

Looks great brother. Although it may not be as comfortable as the Sundowner, I agree it flows better with the lines of your bike. Nice job.

Hi was wondering if the corbin moves you back? I am 6'4 so Im looking for a solo that gives me the most room, also is the sundowner taller, wich gives the most leg room Thanks
