I have the Corbin with no stitching, and it's hard. I put it on in early 2005, and my tailbone still goes to sleep on long rides. The thing I like is that the cantel is steeper and firmer than the gunfighter seat that came on my Speedmaster, and it supports my back better. I second everything loco said about the Corbin.




Calen,
My Corbin saddle is hard with no stitching. I can ride all day and have no problems. I compare it to English v Western saddles on the red-blooded steeds. Soft is fine. Hard is fine. It all depends on the constitution of your backside. I have loads of miles about thirty thousands miles on the saddle and mine has not softened up. With Corbin, you can send the saddle back for a gratis re-work. The majority of first comments about the corbin saddle are, Wow, I am sitting in my bike instead of on top of it.

Now at your stage in the saddle choice, with the flood of after market saddles and such, try borrowing various saddles from your friends. Or attend the GA rally 07 and a plethora of choices will be made available. Good luck with your search. From where do you hail?

PS: Even if you started with a Corbin, your bum would tend to go numb. Adjustment to new positions always take a while. Lynn and I took about 3 thousand miles or so to break ourselves in.

PSS: Take a trip to Alabamy and break some bread with Dennis. He’s got the renegade saddle.
