Default Corbin saddle owners question 2009 FLHX

I am waiting for delivery of my Classic Solo for my FLHX. I got the standard, not the short reach, model. I want to know how this will place me in comparison to my stock seat. Lower, higher etc. Can anyone help

Corbin seats typically sit lower and back just a bit from the stock HD seats.

Did you get a heated seat with double stitched red flame pattern? Oh, here it is here.......

Ooopppppssss.....this is a close reach seat.

Default Corbin Solo

I just got my heated solo about a week ago and my impression of the seating position is it is about the same as the stock except it is narrower at the nose. This is my first heated seat from Corbin and it is definitely softer than the non-heated seat and this may be why it seats me about the same as the stock. On my '06 Street Glide, I know I sat lower than stock.

Open Road, that red stitching is really cool with the red bike. I wish I had thought of that. I did not get heated because it has really never bothered me without it. I do wear Harley textile Overpants in the winter.

Let us know when you get it, as that is on my list of upgrades. I've been back and forth between Corbin and Mustang. I want a back rest too, so that plays a part in the decision. I like how Mustang's backrest will fold down for easier access. I'm only 5' 9", to swing my leg over a backrest, could be a little more difficult.

Keep us in the loop!
