Thanks for your great review, I'm debating getting one for my FZ10 and there's not a lot of reviews. I have a 9 year old daughter so I'm probably going to go the Corbin way. You did a great job showing me the product I will get :) by the way, your bike looks awesome specially with the seat
Did you ever make the passenger update video? A couple years back, I swapped the passenger foot peg brackets for fj09's and that made a huge difference in comfort, for my wife.
Solid video and very helpful. I'm thinking of buying an XSR900, a Z900RS, or a Speed Twin as a second bike (primary is an Indian Springfield) and I almost ruled out the XSR900 because I want a sportier, more nimble second bike but it needs to accommodate a pillion with some degree of security, and I couldn't find a pillion seat and back rest for this bike anywhere; and I don't know why I didn't check Corbin (great seats). So thank you for identifying that.
Good job ! Glad to see the look of that seat. I’m thinking of getting an XSR900 but comfort is basically my only last concern. I’ll be doing 90% city and commuting. But I want the few longer rides to be fun !
I'm in the same boat. Most of my rides are under 3 hours so even the stock seat is fine. The bike tours okay, as long as you don't mind the lack of a windshield. The Corbin seat is perfect for long rides and two up
XSR Detroit Thanks for your answer. Windshield is not an issue to me. My GSX windshield deflect and concentrate the air right onto my helmet. Which is uncomfortable anyway.
Nice seat...looks good. I'm purchasing a 2019 xsr900 this week, and I will definitely give this seat some serious thought. I'm six three, so the added height will not be a problem. Nice review. Thanks for the info.
The seat looks great. I doubt I'll have much interest in riding two up but it's nice to know it's there. The shorter wheelbase makes the stock back end look a bit stubby. I also think creating more area for a bit of cargo on light tours will be useful. Thanks for the post.
@@XSRDetroit That seat (in addition to being more comfortable for all) really thickens and extends that back end. The highlighted gold also seems to do this. It's a really nice effect. I'm still unsure of the tail tidy configurations for myself. Anyways, I like the channel and like where you've gone with it. Best wishes on riding and general health during this time. Any trips planned?
Thanks for the review! looking at a gunfighter and lady for my gsxs 1000. I really like the UJM style look this seat ads. Did this seat give you a longer reach to the ground?
How can I order the same Corbin Gunfighter without the lady seat? Can you share all the specifications you used for that seat? I'm very interested in buying it for my 2024 XSR700. Thanks!
Hi. Just watched this video as I'm considering buying one. The only issue is that I live in New Zealand now so the total cost is US$650 - so its not cheap. My question is "is it worth it" Craig
I think if you ride with a passenger often, yes it's worth it. If you're riding solo you could spend less for more comfort. I bought it mostly for the sissy bar.
How much more comfortable is it than the stock seat? I’ve ridden the stock seat on two 1,000 mile trips, it does get hard after a while. I’ll probably get the solo gunfighter to use just for those long trips, (I love the look of the stock seat but it is hard, even wearing cycling gel pad shorts under my gear) the rider portion on your lady version looks the exact same as the riding surface of the solo version. This seat brand new is also the exact same price as the solo seat if you don’t get the attachments, ($533 brand new)
It's a bit better for the rider. I primarily bought it to make things more comfortable with the passenger. It's definitely pricey but I'm glad I got it.

Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the channel
Really appreciate this, very hard to find reviews for passengers!
Thank you for checking out the video. I have a full video planned for passenger upgrades.

Corbin also makes a solo seat for the XSR900.

Thanks for checking the video out. It's definitely a trick bike to make space on, especially with the short rear end

Yep! I'll be heading out in a few weeks for a camping trip, I'll definitely be filming. Should be a fun ride.
Nice review. Might get it as apposed to the yamaha swede one
The Yamaha Ultrasuede seat is brutal on the arse, the Corbin one looks lovely
i also wear cycling shorts which seems to help
Do you remember which backrest that was? i know they have different options. Thanks and great video.
Thanks dude. I got mine used, I'm not sure what backrest it is. Sorry man!
WOW, Fire extinguisher on the forks!
It's actually an auxillary fuel can. The XSR doesn't have the biggest tank ha
Still dope
nice seat
Thanks for the review! looking at a gunfighter and lady for my gsxs 1000. I really like the UJM style look this seat ads. Did this seat give you a longer reach to the ground?
Yeah but only a little bit, it added a bit of height to the seat

I grabbed this seat used, your best bet would be to reach out to Corbin

What year is your xsr? Ive got a 2016 and want a corbin seat but they dont know if it will fit.
2016
Glad the seat found a good home.
appreciate you selling it to me!
its called a cissy bar for a reason
Was there a change in seat height when you made the switch? I can't flat foot the xsr900 and wondering if this helped at all or made it worst.
To give you some perspective I'm 5'8. I would say the seat did drop the seat height just a bit. With riding boots I'm pretty much flat foot
Seat looks great! What material/panel/welt/color options did you choose when ordering from Corbin?
I'm not 100% to be honest. I bought it used. I assume black for everything.
How much more comfortable is it than the stock seat? I’ve ridden the stock seat on two 1,000 mile trips, it does get hard after a while. I’ll probably get the solo gunfighter to use just for those long trips, (I love the look of the stock seat but it is hard, even wearing cycling gel pad shorts under my gear) the rider portion on your lady version looks the exact same as the riding surface of the solo version.

It's a bit better for the rider. I primarily bought it to make things more comfortable with the passenger. It's definitely pricey but I'm glad I got it.
Love your videos!
Do you workout?
haha I get my pushups in every day
nice review! how does the seat hold up in the rain?
Just fine. The material that the seat is made with is a bit slippery but it isn't a huge issue
Can you tell us about the fender eliminator you got there ?
Sure, it's a fender eliminator from Graves. Check out my How To playlist, I did a full install
How much does the seat height goes up.. short rider here
I'm 5'8, it doesn't effect the height much, might be a tad lower. It has more space to move around than the stock seat, I prefer the Corbin
Does your passenger trust the backrest enough to sit back and not hold onto you?
I asked, she said yes. The mount peg for the sissybar is very sturdy.
@@XSRDetroit Thanks for asking. Haha
Do you recall the name of the fabric you ordered for the top of the seat pads? Is it grippy like the stock material?
is that a gas can on the fork?
Yes, a 1 liter bottle with a lowbrow customs holster. I have a trip coming up so I'm playing with mounting positions
XSR Detroit thx... Im a noob...love this bike...been reading up on this and seems like almost everyone against it for beginner....haizzzzz.
XSR Detroit did the front fork mounting work for you. I know this is a year later. I ordered the same product for my XSR
How much did it set you back?
I paid $500 with the sissy bar but I got it used
