Very similar. I'm vertically challenged with a 29" inseam and I am solidly flat footed with both seats! Thanks!

You're going to wish you would not have bought the gunfighter seat. Its MUCH more narrow than the stock and shows terrible paint wear marks on the tank, side panels and rear fender.
How do I know? I rode up and bought one, rode it out of there and turned right back around and said no way. I had them make a custom touring seat like yours but widened the front tank area to hide the paint wear, then shave the rear seat to match the gunfighter rear.
Put it on and see before its too late!

I'm more concerned about the rubber standoff's on the tour seat. They sit a little wider on the fender and I'm concerned they may leave a mark that is visible when I put the gunfighter on. I'll be keeping an eye on that.

How are you still liking both seats, I just made an appointment last week to go down in june. I want the gunfighter for when the tour pack is off and then dual tour for when its on and wife rides. I am not doing the tour back packrest though, wife just doesn't ride enough and stock one is fine.

Yeah Corbin service is really hit or miss. I've had a number of Corbin's over the years and I mostly had decent luck, but there have been moments that it less than stellar. The last Corbin I had on my former Kawasaki Concours 14 just wouldn't break-in. I put over 3k miles on it before I gave up. I replaced it with a Sargent that wasn't much better.
