How do you longer-legged guys get on with the Corbin? I'm 6'2" with bad hinges so I like as much stretch room as possible.
I'm the same height and have the Corbin Gunfighter seat on my bike (couple pics in my gallery). I love it compared to the stock seat. I could only do about 1.5 hours at a time before I got butt burn on the stock seat and now it's my other bits (wrist, legs, back) that start to tell me it's time to take a break.
It felt great right off the bat but it did take about 3000 miles to really get broken in. I've also noticed that it's more comfortable when the sun has a chance to warm it up. I wouldn't exactly call my seat a 'pillow top' like Phil's but it's definitely not a brick like some people have described theirs.
I don't know how much stretch room I've lost (if any) since there isn't a whole lot for me to begin with. The seat feels like it puts you 'in the bike' more than the stock seat. When I stretch my legs out I let my ankles rest on the pegs since that's the only place I can put them. A rig for highway pegs with my long legs would look weird.
Mine does not have the back rest adapter and every once in a while I will push myself almost onto the pillion section (34" inseam) to stretch or let the blood flow back into my butt.
