I can also move front and aft comfortably on it but seem to "settle" mostly in the middle during a ride, i weigh 85 kg/ 1.85 m.
My impression is that Corbin is buildt for the larger figure and the "channels" were a big improvement for me.
The foam itself will never wear in ( believe me i tried and it's a myth ) but the leather will and i loosened the leather cover tension to be more plyable in it's shape, i saw that in another video and it helped to make it feel softer and "worn in"

And even though i altered the front part it still rubs against the fueltank so i put clear tape on the tank to protect the paint, you don't need any softness between the seat and the tank, in fact i removed some resin from the base but i should have removed some more, easy to check by moving a sheet of paper in between the seat and the fueltank.
There should be no contact at all even when you sit down on the bike.

Also put some spacers under the front rubber supports for a better fit;


and i removed and bent the locking lug in a vise so it is more aft and away from the tank;

Thanks Max we are about the same height. The fact you can move aft comfortably is what I'm unable to accomplish on the stock seat. And you didn't mention that you wished the riders bucket would have been more rearward or forward, so I take it you wouldn't change anything if reordering one. (Fitment issue aside)
