I'm a little guy, but like that I can sit on the rough forward position to sit straight up; i.e. in city riding so I can see over cars, et cetera. But, I also like that on the interstate I can slide back in the cockpit to take some wind off, and also to move the pressure points onto my seat bones and not my tail bone. The ability to move around is crucial for me on long rides.
Dharma- I'm interested in your comment as I'm considering the Corbin option but one worry is -I would be in a somewhat forced rear seat pocket position due to the angle of the seat (does that make sense..lol).
so by the sounds of what your saying above-you can move around on the Corbin comfortably and sit close to the tank in city driving (which I like to do on my stock seat) and- when cruising longer distances etc relax and sit in the rear seat pocket comfortably?
would that be a fair statement on how your seat fits you?
btw- do you mind if I ask your inseam? and height?
thanks for the info!!

Jrns, That is correct. The front position is a bit hard, and the pressure point sits right on my tailbone. It isn't a position I would ride in for more than five - ten miles, but at that point I can slide back into the "cockpit" so to speak which place the pressure points on my seat bones. Much more comfortable, and at 5' 6" tall it is not a stretch for me and my stubby arms to sit comfortably. I have put over 200 miles in this position without the need stretch my back or change the pressure point. My inseam is at 30 in.
