09 Streetglide, looking for another Corbin. Ive had 7 or 8 seats for this bike over the years trying them out and always go back to Corbin because i perfer firm seats. Currently running Dual Tour so the ol lady is happy but cant stand the rider section because of how wide it is. Makes it a pain to flat foot and not sleek looking. Had a gambler on a different bike and loved rider portion but only had "temps" on back before ol lady so that wasnt a factor. Looking at both gambler model and widowmaker model and cant decide which to pull the trigger on. Wanted to find one used but none posted in classifieds so probably going to have to order new.

The question is... anyone ran both and know if one is slighly better for the passenger? Big difference in feel of rider portion on trips? Also there are very limited pictures from googling or corbin site... post you bike if you have either to help get an idea of difference in looks. Thanks in advance!

 

I haven't had any experience with either of those seats which is my disclaimer, but what I do have is the Corbin Classic Solo on my RGS. I'm short (5'8") so I had them do a "nose job" on my seat, which is where they shave some width off the nose section of the seat, and I'm flat footed at stoplights etc... For my wife I have the matching touring passenger pillion and she loves it compared to the stock seat.

 

I have a dual tour on my '16 Ultra Limited. Over the winter I sent it back to Corbin for a "nose job"; basically narrows the front part of the driver section a bit. Made a big difference for my inseam-challenged self with regard to putting my feet on the ground better, parking lot maneuvering, etc. The seat should have come with one free re-work from Corbin, though you have to pay shipping to the factory.
