Love the seat! Not to sure about the red end weights? I might have went with red RLETs. Probably couldn't get into the "club" with red ones though.

I liked the red weights to tie with the red seat stitching and pin stripes. Not for everybody I realize.

Does the Corbin seat lower your seating position some?

MY experience with my corbin seat -- not as fancy as the one in the picture, but a standard corbin seat -- is that while it is a little *lower*, it's also a little *wider*, so the net result is that my feet touch the ground *exactly* the same as with the stock seat. But *much* more comfortable...

Yep. Wide, flat seats went away, to be replaced with more stylish seats that more fit the contours of the bike. The newer style seats did look better, but comfort became secondary to looks.
I replaced my seat with a wide, flat Tiros K-style seat that would have looked at home on an early 70s CB750. I took my first mega-ride with that seat last month and couldn't believe how much more comfortable it was. If my butt got sore it was easy to adjust my position forward, backward and even from side to side. Long trips with the right seat are so much more fun.
