Things I don't like about my Corbin seat set
Written by gibinmich on 8/23/2010 at 04:44 pm

My new to me 96 that I bought last spring came with a Corbin that the original
owner installed when he bought the bike new in 98. It took a little getting use
to the firmness but I like it now. I still had my old 96 so I got to try both
seats and decided to keep the Corbin on the bike. I took a 5000 mile trip to
Texas in the spring and had no problems. I even brought my sheepskin but I only
used it a couple of times even though it was over 90 degrees almost everyday. I
had no problem with it being slippery but then I just wear blue jeans. The one
thing I like the most is the looks of the PC with the Corbin seat. It makes a
sporty looking bike even sportier. I have no idea why you have to take the
passenger seat off first? Other than the two seat bolts being harder to get to,
it comes off just as easy as the stocker. I cut slots in the bolts so now I can
turn the bolts with a screw driver and all is well. I'm thinking about selling
the two like new stock seats if anyone is interested?

my Aerostich covered butt tends to slide without the AirHawk.

Powerlet adapter, but I'll have to wait until I have time to take the entire
seat set off (and the Givi rack - yuck).
