I searched "Corbin seat threads" but didn't come across an answer to my question.
I'm considering ordering a Corbin Lady and Gunfighter for my 2014 CB1100. I am 5'-11" with 32" inseam and need to sit a little farther back than I can on the stock seat due to the step location. Also I don't want to be any lower, if anything maybe a 1/2" or so higher than stock.
In my experience on other bikes, Corbin seat buckets are a little farther back than stock which would be perfect, but I've not sat on one for a CB1100, nor even seen one pictured beside a stock seat for comparison, so I don't know this for sure? If it's not I can request they move the bucket back 3/4"-1", but if it already is, going back another 1" would be too far. Thoughts?
Also any other changes you'd have them do were you ordering again? I don't care for the puffy ribs Corbin now stitches in to their seats and would prefer just plain like Corbins of old. I don't know if they can change that but I'll ask. TIA

Just got my lady gunfighter seat and yes it does sit back a little further but if you want more of a custom fit you should go there to get it to fit your size. I couldn’t because I live in PA but the seat is very comfy compared to oem. Only thing I didn’t like was the quality control of their seats, like the other member mentioned I had to bend the rear tab to even get the seat to click into place and also for the rear backrest the hole drilled was way off location and I don’t understand how they didn’t even check it or install it before sending it to me. I do like the seat but I just expected better quality control for a $900 seat.
