Uncomfortable Corbin seat made better
#1

Ok, so when i bought my 2013 secondhand it had a Corbin seat, I thought great! comfy seat! Turned out it wasnt that comfy an was pretty hard on the bum...
So I bought a 20mm piece of orange Gel pad from Ali express, drilled out the rivets that hold the leather in place, cut out a section of the foam in the seat and replaced it with the gel pad, then a thin layer of foam (maybe 3mm) which had a thin cloth type layer, to cover the whole seat section and smooth out the join, replace the leather and rivets...job done...and I must say its a definate improvement, not hugh, but definatley better....

Nice job. Another useful comfort product is Moto-Skiveez, I have had them for six years now and they do make a difference. I used to wear them all the time on my 2016 Africa Twin as the seat was pretty bad. They are not as big and bulky as they look on the website.

Nice effort ozigoo. Looks almost like a bit of transplant lung surgery.

Eating plenty of cheese burgers will also make your seat feel better : I think it is called : internal padding .

You must be a businessman, Houtman: internal padding of the posterior leads to internal expansion of the girth which leads to new riding jackets and riding pants. Call Houtman Enterprises; have we got a deal for you! Hello

By the way, nice work, ozigoo. Thumbs Up
