I just got a used Corbin seat and I love everything about it except it is lower than the stock seat and my legs feel cramped. Is this typical for a Corbin or do they make them different depending on height, inseam etc...?
Thanks!

My Corbin is a bit taller than stock - a (slight) drawback in my case. I don't recall Corbin offering me a height choice.

I haven't checked yet but want to see if Sargent has any seats available.
That's odd that you think it's lower than stock; to me the Corbin feels significantly taller than stock, especially when you consider how much you sink into the stock seat.
Stock seat height is 31.3 inches , Corbin seat height is 31 inches.

oh boy I need the weekend! I read this post and scratched my head thinking a seat that was 31 inches tall... on top of the bike already! How long are your legs....
then I re-read it and it clicked... from the ground to the top of the seat - seat height...
I suspect the issue is not the difference in height, but where you are now sitting. Unless it was hardly used, the previous owner would have shaped the seat based on where he (or she) sat, how much he weighed and shape of his derrière. That's the good thing about a Corbin... they break in to the fit the rider. That's also the bad news. You may remember in college, getting an old sofa from the salvage shop. Seemed like all of them must have been previously owned by a 350 lb guy. No matter where you sat, you slowly migrated to the crater left by his large a**. (Kinda like how you migrate forward towards the tank with the stock seat
)

No kidding! And top it off I watched the video someone linked here in the forums to someone running deals gap on a goldwing and really flying through it! Then I stumbled upon this video... [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbdkZB9-Sd4]Is it a car or a bike?!
When I get a chance I'll measure both seats. The seat looked brand new when I got it and the guy I got if from said he has less than 100 miles on it. Maybe the guy I got it from had them make it lower. It seems lower than the 0.3 inch difference kenfyoozed posted but maybe that 0.3" is all it took to make me feel a little cramped.
