I'm 5'11" and 198 lbs. On the stock seat nomatter where I would try to sit, within a mile or so I would slide forward and be sitting up by the tank. I was good for an hour max on the stock seat. On the Corbin I sit slightly farther back when riding at low speeds but not all the way back to where the seat curves upwards. At high speeds (above 65 mph) I sit all the way back and lean forward a bit more. Nomatter where I sit on the Corbin seat I stay there. I don't slide forward or back and it's more comfortable no matter where I sit. Combined with my Road Comet faring, sitting farther back on that Corbin allows me to cruse at 85 mph for long periods (the speed limit is 75 here so 85 is cool). I really like the look of the stock seat but after the first month I knew it had to go. I'd like to try the K&H seat as well so I may buy one and do a comparison between it and the Corbin. We have several members here in the Phoenix area and a "seat comparison day" might be a good excuse for a get together. Cheers.

Ooh, I like that idea.
Like others, I'm 6', 32" inseam. My butt goes number after about an hour. The seat seems very comfortable to start, but then I just go numb for no apparent reason. I always ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs. I sit about an inch from the gas tank so I can grip it with my thighs.
