Default Seat Opinions

I bought my RK Standard used about a year ago. When I bought it it had a Corbin Touring Seat on it. I find the seat fine for long rides, but I don't like it for around town riding. It sits back too far and makes the seat height feel very high.

I am thinking about picking up a stock seat off ebay. Can't decide if I should get a Standard (2 piece) or the Classic Seat (1 piece) I like the idea of being able to go Solo with the two piece, but how about the comfort.

This is just an opinion, but if you have been riding a Corbin, I think you are going to be dissapointed with a factory Roadking seat. The factory seat on the RK I had made the seat height higher than the Corbin, and it certainly was not as comfortable.

If you find that the Corbin is setting you back too far, you might consider changing bars to a set with more pull back. I was never able to get used to the stock bars on the RK, even with the factory seat or the Mustang seat that I ran for a while.

Just a thought.

Regards,

Bill

Take a look at the HD Sundowner. lots of threads about this seat. I prefer it to the Corbin Solo I had.
