I had fusion surgery last April. Thought I was gonna have to sell my bike. Turns out after about 7 months I'm good for 300+ miles a ride. I have a C&C with backrest, 10 inch LA Chopper Twin Peaks and a Airhawk. Ohlins 3-3's going on Friday which is something I should have done years ago. Hope you find comfort in your search. Ride safe.

Are they stiff? I'd prefer to say firm. Are they uncomfortable? Not for us two, quite the opposite. Are they the same today as our older one? Dunno! We have no hesitation recommending one.

Having said that, our more recent experience is that installing Ohins shocks has had the greatest improvement on comfort. If you want to protect your back buy them first! It's the only way to travel.....

I couldn't agree with you more... Ohlins or any good shock along with a good seat is the key.

I ride horses many hours a week and have for 40 years. I spent many years making a living on the back of a horse. There is a reason western saddles are very firm.

Great response to all who complain about the firmness of a Corbin. I think perhaps most of them have not spent much time nor many miles on the Corbin. I will not take a long road trip on any saddle other than a Corbin.
