Finally got my Corbin Saturday. The first thing I noticed is the great craftsmanship along with the caerful packaging. Beautiful seat and beautiful day. I wanted to ride, so I excitedly headed to the garage to install it. Opened the instructions, but they were totally illegible. No big deal. Went online and printed fresh instructions from the corbin site. Ok, a few hours, a little cussing, and a half can of Copenhagen later, its on. I ended up having to loosen the front tank fastener so it could move forward; only needed about 1/16". Also had to elongate the hole for the right hold-down bracket.
Quite the PIA.
Was it worth the cost and the headache? YES!
The seat looks fantastic, the red stitching is really subtle but looks great with the red stripes, and what an incredible improvement in comfort. I put a couple hundred miles on the beast today and did it in complete comfort. The seat has great support and kind of cradles the tail-bone area. It also seems to have moved me foreword a bit so I don't have to double over my belly to reach the bars.
I've decided to leave the bars alone for now and am still waiting on the windshield. I'll upload some pics after the shield is installed.
