I have both the solo and the pillion. The solo seat is great. I get very little use with the pillion as I prefer to ride solo.

My custom Corbin is the most comfortable seat one could have. I had Corbin make it to increase ride height 2 3/4" bc I'm 6'5" and all legs. My leg room and ride time is far improved!


That said, the added height seems to have raised the center of gravity , and just isn't the same in the corners and twisties ( my favorite )


I'm thinking about putting my Blackline seat back on and trying to work with foot controls help legroom .


Open to any thoughts as well

Looks nice. Makes the bike look so much larger.

My first question is why was it so difficult to install? Didn't it just bolt up like the stock seat?

My next question is why not try to get used to the new seat position for a little bit? I'd say give it a few weeks before giving up on it... Unless there's some return policy or something? Although, one reason I love my Slim so much, is I feel like I'm sitting in it, not on it.

I've never ridden a Corbin saddle, but I hear nothing but good things. They do have a great reputation and have had one for a long time. Hope you figure out your solution!

Thanks for the note. No, it doesn't install like a regular seat. You must add brackets , front and back. The front mounts right over the battery and takes patience . Then the seat must be forced into position and could use , three hands and 200lbs of effort . After that, your good to go.


I've put 3,000 plus miles on this seat. Feel like I've givin it a good chance . THE SEAT ROCKS !!! I custom ordered it 2 3/4 " higher the there stock , bc my height and 38" legs.

That largely rised the center of gravity , and changed the handling .


Hope, can find a solution to extend my foot controls
