question about corbin seats
I reckon everybody that has tried them either loved them or hated them. What does the passenger have to say about them. I have a sundowner now and it's pretty good, but the wife gets to squriming around after 8 or 10 hours, would the corbin be better?

RE: question about corbin seats
I can only tell you that I put a Corbin dual tour seat on my Deuce, the riders half is miserable to me, hard and two narrow behind the tank,, I get fried from motor heat when stopped. when we got the Ultra I installed a road zeppelin and have enjoyed it eve since.

RE: question about corbin seats
Corbin seats give you nice firm base and cradle your butt so you maintain a natural shape while riding. Other seats often cause your butt to spread and will wear you out fast. The passenger seating surface is very similar to the rider's providing a natural supportive surface.
Highly recommended.

The corbins are harder but for some reason the comfort cell foam they use is more comfortable if that makes sence. It asorbs `bumps much better and is IMO the best seat Ive ever used, the passenger sits on the same stuff the rider does so it would be the same for them. FYI all the custom leather seats harley sells in their catalog are made for them by corbin, im useing the rally runner, its a more streamlined seat you might want a bigger one for very long touring.

RE: question about corbin seats
Corbins are great.
It truly takes enduring a little discomfort to ge them broken in.
Little discomfort he says --- try about 1500 miles.
It keeps on getting better.

RE: question about corbin seats
I feel most pass. seats are not quite as cumfy as the front
what you should do is look for an aftermarket seat pad,,
1 that comes to mind is called Butt Buffer,,,
theres all shapes, materials etc,,
I think thatll make her happy
oh,,, search and find" Vibe rider" site,,, diff side of "SEAT FOR HER" ,if anything its funny
your on the right track though,,,, gotta make her happy,,,,,,then your happy

RE: question about corbin seats
Corbin makes a greaty seat, I have the dual tourer and the wife loves it. Tried the Mustang, Sundowner, and settled on the Corbin.
With that said it would be hard to find any seat where after 8 or 10 hours the wife or my self would not be squriming around a bit.

RE: question about corbin seats
I also have the Corbin and that was the first thing the wife wanted, she loves them and we have them on all of our bikes. Some people do not like them because of the firmness, my buddy doesn't like them and has the sundowner which in my opinion is to soft for me. Another seat you might want to check out is the mustang, I haven't owned one but many people like them.
