So, my experience with Corbin. I had one for my bike. It looked great! But…. After about 85 miles it wasn’t comfortable. That happened multiple times. I put a gel seat on it. Not better. So Corbin will up to one year from purchase swap out your seat with a different foam but…. You have to ship (at your expense) the seat to the Corbin factory in California for the swap out. Corbin doesn’t do that in Ormond Beach,Fl. So I sent it. I got it back and yes it was better but not by that much. I wound up selling the seat at half price and I found a custom seat maker that took my stock seat and built it up from the back plate. That worked. As I stated the Corbin seat looked great but my Tushy doesn’t have eyes. What’s sad is so many manufacturers provide uncomfortable stock seats. Maybe manufacturers have a secret deal with aftermarket seat companies to get folk to buy aftermarket? 😉
Harley definitely wants you to upgrade seats...and what's comfortable for one person is not for everyone. We all have different bodies. But at 85 miles that not even broke in... You'd have to take ALOT of little rides to get it broke in. Unfortunately thats the hardest part.
is this decently shorter than the harley reach seat? i wanna lower my bike without like compromising the suspension n stuff and i think this would be a good option
Never used Corbin seats but I prefer aftermarket as stock seats don't have a deep enough gullet for lower back/butt plus I have narrow hips... might have to try one these next!
Well the best part is if you're close to a showroom they really can help you customize a shape... Like the Road Glide seat they pushed me an extra 2" forward and 1/2" lower.
@@Indigo.moto. i got my first harley last year and was kinda stuck between the softtail line of a fatboy or a softtail custom. really like both bikes im only 5'6 finding something to fit can be a little challenge without adding alot of extra cost
Awesome ...have been looking for a good seat after 15k
I totally forgot they were there thanks for the reminder🎉
Definitely go over there to check out options. My dude Christopher Mike can totally help you out.

Looks great, if you don't mind, how much was it?
So the road glide seat cost me about $800. The pan America one, both the front and rear cost about $1k. Pricey, but worth it.

Yes! What I had on this before was the reach seat. This is lower.

How is the height?
Since I have the low, I can almost flat foot it. I am 5'3"
