Maybe I do have an iron butt ...
You know, it's really odd some are fine with the stock seat some aren't. I know a lot of people just assume they will need to get a new seat; however, I did not want to spend the $ on an aftermarket seat. Shortly after I got the bike I did a two hour one way and two hour back trip. It got a bit unpleasant but (no pun intended) I figured it would break in. However, it got worse not better. It got to the point where I started to dread riding the bike. After 15 minutes the numbness would start, 10 minutes more and I could feel the sciatic nerve starting to protest. I think it may be a function of size and weight. I'm 6' 180. Maybe I weigh too much or not enough, maybe my posterior is too small or too big. Maybe the length of my legs change the geometry of my butt on the seat. I've got no idea but I am feeling a lot better about things with the Corbin on there.
