Corbin seat

[AzBob_imp]

I have had Corbin seats for over 25 years on different bikes and I love them.
A few weeks ago I put one on my CB1100 and to me it changed the feel of the ride a lot. I bought it because the stock seat was just to hard for me (225 lbs) and after about an hour my butt got sore.
Now I have no problems and while at first it might feel a little hard over time it settles to your weight.
One other thing I noticed very much that now I feel much more one with the bike and can corner with more confidence,I feel more in control with the Corbin seat on the bike.
One thing you have to be careful with ;the seat is a very tight fit in the beginning and difficult to lock in place and to unlock.
For the first few trips I just put the seat loose on the bike ( only fitted in the front) After a while the seat will also lock in the back and than is easier to unlock without having to put a lot of force on the locking mechanism.
I went for the all vinyl version because more water proof and less upkeep than leather,others might prefer the leather as it get less hot.

Are you sure the stock seat is too HARD and not so soft that the foam totally squashes and you're basically sitting on squished foam and the seat pan?

I am a little heavier than you (currently, but not for long, I hope, lol) and I find the stock seat leaves much to be desired with regard to support. I was looking at Corbin and other manufacturers as well, but I believe I need a HARDER seat than stock, not softer, for better support. At least that's my conclusion from what I read on various seat manufacturers' websites.
