RE: seat for Night Train, Corbin vs. Mustang
I just bought another Corbin Hollywood Solo.. Direct from Corbin 299.00 there prices dropped 100.00 in the last couple months.. Tryed theMustang Vintage Solo, Lepara Siloet with Gel,Badlander, and nothing compares to the Corbin for me, 195 lbs 5"11 32" Inseam.. All day no problem.. Worth every penny.. I have three new seats for sale LOL..

RE: seat for Night Train, Corbin vs. Mustang
I love my gunfighter.....it's all leather and I really like the fact that you turn the key and the seat is off of the bike. Hook the tongue and snap down the back and it's back on. The detachable backrest is the key to long rides; you really just don'tget tired.I rode mine non stop except for fuel and a pee break 360 miles a couple of weeks ago. Butt never got sore and the backrest kept my arms from getting tired. It did take 1000 miles or so to conform to my butt, but it's great now.

RE: seat for Night Train, Corbin vs. Mustang
I've got a Fat Boy so I don't know if this will help but:
The stock seat was numb buttitis in 20 minutes
I bought a Mustang wide vintage solo and never had numb butt again (right out of the box was great)
It did sit me 1" higher I think and you had to bolt in on through the fender strt brackets.
I bought a Corbin Gunfighter for the looks and a buddy said Corbin was the best.
It was hard at first and I've put on 1,500 miles and it is still hard.
No numb butt though.
and it sits me about an 1" lower.
I love the look and feel on the bike.
Personally if I was to do a 1,000 mile road trip,
I would prefer the Mustang slightly over the Corbin.
But for looks and 200 mile day trips I'm well satisfied with the Corbin.
I had the model with the backrest on both
and that is the only way I could ride a bike all afternoon,
it's sweet for us old back back guys.

"Just recieved my corbin Solo seat for my 07 Deuce. do you all have any recomendations for covering the rear fender holes ? Any fender bibs to recommend ? "
A preivous owner had a Deuce style backrest on my Fatboy. I picked up a Corbin Hollywood solo off ebay for next to nothing (I almost felt guilty about the price) and covered the holes with plastc push-in style panel trim pins from the local Auto Zone. They're shiny black with a smooth, low profile that matches the fender. IMHO it's a better look than the bibs. I sometimes switch back to the two up stock seat and it's nothing to pull them out, they're only a few bucks.
Also -- Love the Corbin seat. It sits lower and has a better profile than stock. My only issue with it is that it doesn't always keep mestrapped induring launch, I mean acceleration...
