Hiker,
I have 3 seats for my CB11, stock, a Corbin, and a K&H. The only one of the three that lets me sit where ever I want is the Corbin. At low speeds around town I sit close to the tank and I stay in that position without sliding up or back. On the freeway I sit farther back to lean forward a bit more and again my butt stays right there. At high speeds (75mph +) I sit all the way back and lean forward even more. The Corbin seat is comfortable no matter where I sit and I have no trouble staying in that position. For most of my riding I am not sitting all the way back on that seat. I sit where ever I'm comfortable at the time.
As soon as it cools off a bit I'm going to invite any AZ member over to my home to do a multi-rider 3 seat comparison and we can all write up our thoughts after testing all 3 seats back to back. Cheers.
