Saddles on the Brain - Corbin, K&H, and Daytona, Oh my!

[the_undecider_imp]

Thank you for posting that picture. You have the same mirrors and Dart screen I have plus the Staintune I want, so your bike very closely resembles the desired look.

While I have no problem paying for quality, if I do, I want to make sure I like what I bought. Comfort comes first, but looks are important. The K&H should offer the comfort given you can have it customized. The downside is you can really strap luggage to the pillion pad. I think I have that taken care of with a single side saddlebag.

With the Corbin, I feel more confident I will be comfortable and I retain greater function with the usable passenger space. I find the standard tuck and roll a little showy for my taste. When I called Corbin to inquire about various custom options, they recommend the tuck and roll to prevent the leather from deformity and stretching with the foam as it breaks in. I posted about this on the Chip Beck spec Corbin thread. No word yet from Chip if he has experienced this.

If I could get some positive feedback on the Daytona, I would consider it, but it isn't at the top of my list.

Last, I might just have my stock seat reworked or find a spare for cheap.
