RE: Corbin Dual Touring Plain Seat
Well I rodea Corbinrecently that was DAMNED uncomfortable andit wasn't new, either. After less than an hour I was crying for mercy. Felt like sitting on a rock wall. The Mustang on my FXRS is comfortable for as long as I care to sit on it. I never mess with success.

I don't get the break-in period either. Mine was fantastic right out of the box.
I also use the detachable HD passager backrest. HOWEVER, this seat does position the passanger a little further back on the bike than astock seat. The detachable back rest was okay for the OL, but with the tourpack on, she was cramped. A quick re-drill of the tour pack in the optional "rear" mounting holes and everything was, as Buckwheat says, A-OTAY!

I have never broke in a Corbin seat. I put it on and ride. If you are used to a factory marshmellow seat, the Corbin is going to seem firm, but mine have always been comfortable right from the start.
When I got my first one for the '95 Roadking I was riding a Mustang. I had a chance to try the Corbin before buying because a friend of mine owned it. I put it on, rode for 50 miles, bought it from him and sold the Mustang.
12 hour/500 mile days are not unusual for us, and the Corbin is the best I have ever used.

RE: Corbin Dual Touring Plain Seat
I have had Corbins on my bikes for over 25 years. Because they require some break in, I have bought many of them at a very reasonable price. Some riders won't wait. My Dual Tour also sits me back a little, which is a plus at 6' 5".
This sums it up. They can be had cheap on E Bay because people buy them and make a quick judgement.
I have had two including the dual now. LOVE IT

RE: Corbin Dual Touring Plain Seat
I emailed Corbin and the rep said that there was a change to an electrical harness under the seat so 06 & 07 require the new pan.
Beemer...have you checked to see what the difference is? I figure it might be relocatable...or failing that, I'd take a dremel to the saddle to make a pocket for whatever box it is.
I need the Corbin for the passenger backrest...so my backrest doesn't slip off the back.

I emailed Dennis Kirk about the seat that is on sale for the RG. They told me it would not fit an 06 or 07 RG. Anyone know why it wont?

In '06 H-D switched to a pair of plastic channels under the seat to route the wiring. The Corbin seat pan sits on these channels instead of the rubber bumpers sitting on the frame.
I contacted Corbin and the only solution is to buy a new seat, and at $699 for a dual tour, I'm gonna pass and try something else this time. IMO their new mounting system sucks too, my wife's Deluxe has it and it is a royal PITA every time I have to reinstall the seat.
