Thanks.

On my seat, it is approx 6-6 1/4 " from seat to top of pillion and approx 4" from where my butt sits to the bottom of the seat where it comes in contact with the frame, then it gradually tapers to where it comes in contact with the tank.. I just had an idea. I wonder if you contacted the Corbin people if they could give you a more definite answer about how the two seats, that you mentioned, would compare in size?

Thanks, buddy!

Good idea. I'll give them a call tomorrow, but based on the measurements you just gave me, I'll probably be ordering the seat at the same time!

By the way, is your seat all leather?

Cheers!

Awesome! How has the leather held up over the years? Does the seat spend a lot of time in the sun?

Reaper lives outside during riding season, so any seat I get will be exposed to the sun a LOT.

Thanks again!!

Cheers!

Seat is 10 years old now and still good condition. I keep Doc Baileys leather treatment on it a couple times a year. Seat has seen its share of Fl. Ga. Sun and rain. Comfortable as hell with good back support.

When I ordered my seat, they had some stuff called Corbin saddle cream. Considering how much the seat cost me, I had them throw a bottle of that stuff in also. My seat shows some minor wear marks because my butt has been on it so long, hahaha but over all condition is great, no cracks what so ever. My bike spends the winter in my garage but during riding season, it sits in front of my garage and all is good. I feel as long as a person treats the leather seat with some kind of leather protection, it should help it last longer than if nothing was done to it. Enjoy your new seat.
