new Corbin

The red welt looks great!

I talked with Chip Beck before ordering and decided to get the welt since it cost nothing extra as well as the pockets for the backrests although I will never buy one. If I sell the seat, the potential buyer may want a backrest or a passenger backrest and this seemed to add some potential value to the seat for no additional cost.

I could ride about 50 miles and then the stock seat began to HURT. Now I can ride all day with no pain. MONEY WELL SPENT. If your stock seat doesn't bother you, GREAT! All out tails are shaped different. On one of the forums I belong to where Goldwings are discussed, folks can spend $1000 or more on a custom seat and think it is money very well spent because of the increased comfort. My wife and I have no issues with the stock Goldwing seat and find it comfy... I just sold a Can-Am Spyder and the stock seat was super comfy for me and the missus and test drove a Spyder with a Corbin (over $1000 with all the gee-gaws) and found it horrible. poorly shaped and slippery. Why can't some bike manufacturers build a seat that works for almost everybody? Guess it is the difference in tail shape.
