Corbin seat arrived and.......

[Ollie]

I tried to edit my original post title in the thread I started http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=18016 but it's not permitted so I'll post the update on ordering a Corbin seat. For reference this is what we put on my order:
Remove backrest hardware.
Raise back portion of seating area 1/2".
Customer wants a more flattened seat.
Black vinyl seating, asphalt sides, no welt, black threads and logo.


The stock seat for me was a little narrow, too soft, and positioned me too close to the tank, I would push myself rearward but the forward slope and rise at the back of the seating area kept sliding me forward.

The seat just arrived, it fits well, and is exactly what I wanted... basically a nice flat, slightly wider, firm, seating surface. The following measurements will give you a comparison. Basically the Corbin seat is about the same overall width as stock, only it's almost as wide at the seating surface as the base, whereas the stock seat is wide at the base but tapers inward to give a 2" narrower seating surface.

Maximum width: Stock 12.25", Corbin 12.75".
Max effective width: Stock 9.25", Corbin 11.5"
Effective width half way toward nose: Stock 6.75", Corbin 8.5"
Width at nose the same.
Depth to rise from nose: Stock 12.75", Corbin 14.25".

Anyway the seat is exactly what I was hoping for and is perfect for me at 5-11", 190#, 32" inseam. For anyone (maybe shorter arms?) who finds the stock seat position about right you will find the standard rise location on this seat a little too far rearward so I'd recommend also having Corbin move the rise forward 1".
