I loved the story, but feel the need to comment again regarding Corbin seats. I have owned many of that company's saddles, including seats for a F650, K11RS, ZRX11, DL1000 and VTR1000, K75S and no doubt I am forgetting about another one or two others. Over the years I noticed a decline in comfort with their seats although this is hard to quantify because the saddles for each model are so different. I have also noticed a decline in craftsmanship over time with my most recent purchase, a Dual Canyon for my K75S being the worst crafted by far. I noticed the photo of your new Corbin, a shot from the rear of the bike, and it looks like the Corbin you got is about as crappy a fit as my recent Dual Canyon. Mine also sits crooked on the bike and my seat pan is god awful looking, sloppy casting, the leather came with little white marks on it that can't be removed, truly shameful. The kicker is it is not even a small improvement over the stock seat's comfort. Corbin carries the edge (edge being the transition point between flat top and vertical side panel) too far forward so that said edge digs into you upper thigh right below your butt. Corbin's suggestion that you have to ride it for a year to make it comfortable is Bull Crapeola.
I just put a Sargent World Sport Griptex seat on my new R1150R Rockster and guess how many miles I had to ride to make it comfortable? You guessed correctly, zero miles, and the seat pan is better built than the factory BMW seat, and the Sargent seat is lighter than the factory seat, a trick that Corbin has yet to learn, and it fits the bike like a glove. Unfortunately Sargent does not make a regularly stocked seat for my above mentioned K75S, that is why I ordered from Corbin. I hate the Corbin so much, last week I decided to ship my factory K75S seat to Sargent and have them build a seat for my little K-bike. When it is returned it will immediately go on the motorcycle and the Corbin will be on eBay the next day, feel sorry for the poor sucker who gets it.
