and this time it was correct, no flaws. The Corbin is a big firm, and I will have to go for a long ride to get a better sense of it. I liked the cupped contour, and the better back support ( even without the additional back rest ). It is a bit wider, and I sit a bit higher. I also got my footboards installed. It will take some getting used to. I only rode for 20 miles, so my feel for them is limited. But, I can tell that I like the way I can find so many positions for my feet. I can see the big benefit.

Henry,
I got mine this past spring. It took about 500-600 miles till it started feeling comfortable to me, now I like it a lot. Hope yours turns out the same.

You're gonna love the footboards once you get used to them.

The boards are weird at first. But, as I put some miles on, I am taking to them. I do enjoy the ability to adjust myself, unlike what pegs offer. I almost feel like I have too much room to stretch, I may have to adjust them later, as the shifter seems too far below the foot, but it just may take some getting used to the change of position. So far, pretty good.

The seat, so far, is much nicer. It is firm as all heck, but it offers so much more support, that I dont mind the firmness. I can only guess how much more comfortable it will become as it breaks in.
