I do have one comment (imagine that
) and one question.
The comment is you forgot to mention that you also removed the tank decals. heck that alone is worth at least .00000001 horsepower! 
The question I have for you is this.........................Have you carried a passenger since you installed the Corbin? If so, has the pillion commented on the comfort of the seat as opposed to the oem saddle? I really like the way the Corbin looks and will probably buy one if the passenger comfort is the same or better than stock.
Again, great job suiting the bike to yourself. She IS beautiful.

Jim,
You are very observant, I forgot about those decals. I have carried a passenger a couple times and she liked the Corbin a lot better than the stock seat. My Corbin seat looks stock but the passenger pillion is over 20% wider (11 inches vs. 9 inches on the stock seat) so more of her butt is supported, the Corbin memory foam is more comfortable, and it's nicer to sit on leather than vinyl. I believe any passenger would rather sit on my new seat than the old one.

Damn Chip, no wonder you're not married! The correct phrasing is "the pillion is over 20% wider so she has more room to move around on the seat if she wants"
By the way, the bike looks great.

LOL. Her cute butt isn't just supported by the seat, it's also supported by me! I doubt she'll be going anywhere soon. If I was married I wouldn't be able to buy all this stuff and I probably wouldn't get to work on my bikes in the living room. Firm, good looking seats are important on motorcycles and women.
Chip
that right there is 100% truth
would make a good sig line over on ADV
I may steal it,,,,
