Just got a Corbin off eBay, went for a ride tonight, man they are different than stock! I liked my stock, this one seem firmer and more supportive of the back side and the backrest is awesome, NO MORE SLouch! And I have a place to hang my helmet!
Just wonder how they do on trips etc. Any tricks a guy should know about? I am not sure but I thought I could feel a little vibration through the seat, more like a buzz. Maybe I just have a bug up my ....oh never mind.

I have the Corbin & Back Rest. Never road it with the stock seat so can't compare. I can do a 250 mile day-ride and be a little saddle sore (no real endurance anymore). But what I notice is that I can climb on again the next day and have no residule soreness. THAT would be nice on a trip. I love the back rest...first one I've had. All in all I feel the Corbin and Back Rest is a great combination. Yes it's purdy darn firm but hey...it feel good mile after mile!!
If There's No Wind...ROW!

I have a Corbin and backrest (and pillion/backrest!) and I have no problem with long trips. Ryan and I rode from Dahlonega, GA. to Daytona (500+ miles) in a day and I got up the next morning and rode another 250 to get home. Had no issues with butt burn and if I did not have to stop for gas, I would not...

Have had my saddle and pillion for a month...6'5" tall and the back rest is worth any amount of $'s...the pillion is contoured and wider than stock and wife loves it....Only complaint is getting use to the firmness of the seats, but just did a 300 mile off and on day trip this past weekend and though butt got a little sore, nothing like the stock seat....also since I have had it I have noticed NO lower back soreness after this type of ride.....

I've done several 10 hour days and no butt burn. The rest of my body was sore though. I've just ordered the back rest and pillion to finish off the look. I love my corbin.

Had a Corbin Classic with back rest for a few months now. The saddle was a touch firm to start with but seems to be 'giving' nicely. A few more miles should see it nicely moulded. As for the backrest, Bliss!.......
'Her indoors' reckons the ride is smoother round the bend with the backrest on. Could be right as I know I tend to lean back into the rest on the sweepers.
