oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I am having trouble with my seat. Its driving me nuts. A sargent seat for the sprint is 439. A corbin is about 100 less. I've also toyed with having someone add different padding to my stock seat. I just need it in the main seating area. Any suggestions or thoughts?

oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 i think thats the problem with mine, its too soft, or lacks support, and your exactly right. 150 miles its where it sets in. Sometimes its even 10 minutes. It never bothered me bad untill the coshocton ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfroCBR Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) I have a Corbin...it's pure sex...honestly...I couldn't ride more than 60 miles w/out feeling like someone was being naughty with my bottom...now I can ride 200+ miles and I feel like I'm riding on a cloud....I should mention that Corbin seats take approximately 2,000 miles to "break-in" to your butt...hence making each Corbin custom...O...and I have one for the passenger seat as well....the women who ride with me comment it was the "best ride they ever had".....not sure it was the seat or me....but either way no complaints....hope I helped...

Bad324 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 loved my corbin on my 600rr but on the VFR I think I am going to send it to Great Day to Ride to have him bulk up the stock seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done 1800 mile trip on one and lots of 400- 500 mile day rides. - Plenty of people swear by the Sargent, but I have never tryed one. Not that i wouldnt but corbin has worked for me. I would be willing to hook up if you wanted to see mine and sit on it.If you wanted to try cheap, try the "great day" mod, I think Hoblick went that route.

This is all heresay as I've yet to try either. I just know I LOVED my Corbin on my 600rr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know I LOVED my Corbin on my 600rrHadnt heard it from that perspective, but it does seem from what I have read on other forums is that some people have a "Corbin" butt and others have a "Sargent" butt, and generally most people dont have both.

danballa Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Personally, I'm hooked on the Airhawk seat cushions. Here is a review I just wrote about it.http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=62822 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I may give the airhawk a shot, the only problem with that is that im about at my peak on being able to touch the ground on my bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
