What was your complaint about the saddle? As for the people, hell, who among us is innocent?

The saddle felt great, it looked even better. But when people told me it would take 1,000 miles to break it in ???? Well after 4,000 miles it was still as hard as the day it came out of the box.

I asked my mechanic to check the shocks and put them on the softest ride, because I always rode solo and he said it was on the softest ride. I changed to a Mustang seat and two days after riding on a Mustang seat I told him, I didn't need a suspension change. The seat change did it.

I never had Numb Butt with the Corbin, but my back felt every bump in the road.

Well, it's always supposed to be firm. That's what provides the support and keeps your butt from getting numb.

The Mustang was firm also and I never had Numb Butt with the Mustang either. But it was better on rough roads, is all I'm saying.

I'm thinking lots of aftermarket guys will be selling out or folding up.

Well, being a fen of Corbin's I hope they don't change the manufacturing process when sold. Customer service has got to get better though.

Better get your Corbin seat while you still can. I just happen to have one for sale under the classifieds.
