| I finally bought a pre-owned Corbin Seat and installed it tonight. Here's hoping my arse likes this seat better than the stock seat. It's supposed to rain most of the day tommorow. I will report back here after I get a chance to ride. |

| Update:
I took a 1.5 hour ride to work this morning. ( I went the looonnggg way) and I am glad to report that the corbin seat with backrest was better on my bum than the stock seat. After a 1 hour ride with the stock seat, I'd be needing to stop and rest. So far I am very pleased. The price of a new Corbin Seat had always kept me from buying one, and I would have never paid the money they want for a new one. |

| Hi Gene, Sounds like you have a good thing going on with addition of the new Corbin Saddle. Adding of the Corbin made all the difference in the world for me to. |

| I'm kinda jealous of the DN01 crowd. Corbin now makes one for that bike, with integrated heat! _________________ I ride on two wheels cause I feel very unsafe on one wheel.Dan in Miami.

| I'm glad to say that I haven't had any problems with the stock seat yet. Then again, I have very short legs, so with the backrest all the way back, I can stretch out fully, and with just an Alaskan Leather sheepskin buttpad, I've ridden my new used SWing over 1600 miles (including 2 500 mile days back to back) with no discomfort. I've looked at the Russell Day-Longs as well as the Rocky and Ricky Mayer seats, and don't know that I really need one... well, not yet anyway. Any comparison to the Corbins? A lot of my friends who have Corbin seats either hate or love them, and there's almost no middle ground... |
