FWIW, I had a Corbin on my old XB9. IIRC, the seat was ordered from American Sport Bike. It had black leather trim and carbonium the seat area (textured vinyl to look like cf). I am curious if it is better (more comfortable and cooler/temp) to go with leather in the seat area in liue of the carbonium. I liked the carbonium. It didn't show wear. And it looked cool. I am just wondering what leather in the butt area would be like. Whats your preference.....carbonium + leather -OR- all leather??

You are ordering the seat for NEXT season, right?....it will take at least that long to get it....and that's IF they get it right the first time....good luck with that.

Nope, ordering for this season. Actually, my season is just starting. Too hot to ride in the Vegas summer......just now starting to get cool enough to ride. Corbin quoted 2-3 weeks for a seat.

Huh, I've been riding all summer here in Vegas...

I'd check http://www.motorbikesaddles.com/, Corbin has a rep for horrible customer service, Baldwin is awesome to work with and makes the seat custom to you. Highly worth it!

I like Baldwin saddles. He's a one guy show and you can actually call him with questions. He's top notch and a buell rider himself. http://www.motorbikesaddles.com/

Hey guys, thanks for info on Baldwin. Looks like nice stuff. Need to do some more research on them......but maybe I will go with them. Same price as a Corbin.
