Actually, I weight about 185 coming out of the shower. I find the way that my *** sinks into the seat - probably about 1/3rd the depth - to be really comfortable when I sit up and am relaxing, and it holds me pretty well when I'm tipped forward and riding hard. The Corbin I felt was like a freaking piece of cardboard, I slid around all over the damn thing and it just made my *** ache after about an hour. Never did try Sargent, but as happy as I was with stock, why bother?

If you look closely, you can still see where I dropped in the sargent section and some imperfections (bumps/wrinkles). It was my first test on this bike but I scored a used sargent for cheap and didn't work on version two. FWIW

How's the seat on the 999?

Will do - Have the foam - just waiting on an air sander to shape it. Hope to have all done in two weeks.

I have an offer for memebers interested in a Corbin gun fighter & Lady seat. I have a small shop in NH and one of my vendors just released a close out catalog and they have a few of these seats left. 4 at last check. If interested you are looking at $250 plus shipping to your location. Let me know a.s.ap. if interested.

I got a Sargent 4 months ago and I love it. I've got over 18,000 miles on my '05 SH and I can't believe I rode it for 16,000 with the stock seat. There is no comparison.
I ordered it directly from Sargent with Medium gray piping and it matches great. Looks as if it should have come from Honda that way. I got it in 7 working days.

Love my Corbin after break in period, I think you will be safe with either one since there are good reviews on both.
