Found a corbin seat for $130 locally. Is it worth it or should I pass on it. Tired of rackin my boys on the tank everytime I hit the brakes.

 

If the leather is not hard as a rock. Or if it is and you think you can work some life back into it.

 

The main issue I have with the Corbin seats is you can't move around on the bike.

So if you have a "sit in one place" riding style it can work well for you.
If you like to move around and hang off the bike, well you might not like the way the seat is set up.

 

From the sounds of it, staying in one place ( away from the tank) is exactly what he wants to do.

 

Thanks for the input guys. Really want a sargent, but don't like the price. Think I'm gonna grab it. If I don't like it I'll get it rebuilt and recovered. There is a shop here that does some excellent work and at a reasonable price.

 

consider having your stock seat custom tweaked. There are some places that replace and contour foam for fairly good prices.

 

Totally 100% disagree. I can move all over the place on my Corbin. In fact I'm a little perplexed about the statement. My stock seat [cover] kept me put. When I got the Corbin, I was amazed at how much more it had me moving all around. Now I tend to lean off a little, reducing lean angle.

That's an awesome price if it's in good condition. Buy it quick and make up your mind later. You could even get your money back plus some if you decide you don't like it.

 

i too totally disagree! i too am perplexed by this statement. i love the fact that i can move around, almost slide, when i want to adjust seating position. and the corbin is very comfy. i have had corbins on all my bikes.
get it

 

My vote is you should jump on it (the deal). Thats how I got my corbin & do like it alot.
