I like the feel of the Corbin and the backrest, a few on here do not ride with the back rest on, but I feel it makes you part of the bike.(as one) I have had the corbin only a matter of months and not really done many miles, so it feels really hard on my bony @ss, but I do like the position of it, it seems lower and some how more comfy - just waiting for it to wear to my backside... I have never tried a low profile, but would say that the corbin seems a lot lower than the std seat...
