I love my Slim but continue to slide back on the original seat. I am considering purchasing a custom made Corbin with a backrest, to the tune of $1000. Worth it? or no?

 

Although I've been using a Corbin seat and back rest for many years and it's worked great for me, I personally wouldn't spend that much money, but to each their own.

 

Iam looking at saddlemen for my sport glide.

Have the seat, pillion, and backrest sitting in the garage if you want to go a lot cheaper than $1000.

 

I bought the Corbin solo with back rest for my Deluxe a couple years back. Loved the backrest.

However, even after about 4,000 miles, the seat and my *** did not get along at all.

Seats area pretty personal thing tho. A seat that is like a sittin' on a cloud for one person, is like sittin' on an axe blade for another.

It seems that those who go to Corbin and get custom fitted are pretty happy tho. I bought mine over the phone. Thus.....not happy.

 

Not worth a grand to me. Wait and pickup a used one. You can get knock off backrest on fleebay cheap. I bought a Classic solo, like the guy above stated, never bonded with it. Is a 150 mile seat at best. Then its time to get off and walk around a bit.

 

Noooooooooooooo....

 

Nah, I did 800 on mine without a problem. Butt and legs never got numb once. It's just too firm for my tastes and sits about 2" higher than stock which really aggravates me.

 

 

Only your *** and back will tell you if it's worth it. I use Corbin on all my bikes. I tried about every solo out there and the Corbin works best for me.
