Well about a week ago i got my corbin seat for the xb. I have to say the built quality is top notch and the seat looks great. But im still on the fence with how comfy it is. I havent gotten a chance to really take it out for a good long ride but i have for a bunch of short ones. One time ill think its way more comfy than stock and the next time its like i almost cant get comfy on it. Has anybody else who has this seat experienced this? Will it be better as miles rack up? | ||

Stainless I've owned a corbin but not on a Buell but I can say that there alot like a new pair of boots.They get better with age and use. | ||

I have a Corbin on my S1 and I think the foam material they use is a plank. It hurts, still blistered after a 460 mile day. | ||

I have the Corbin on my XB9S and I love it. You do have to ride it for about a 1000 miles before it is completely broken it but it is worth it. Ten times better than stock and much better than the Streetfighter seat, which I also own, IMO. Looks awesome too. | ||

I've owned Corbins on almost all my 5 bikes that I've had. 1986 ZX600R - seat sucked (bad fit and no comfort); 1995 Buell S2 - better fit okay comfort; 1999 Buell S3t - good fit, okay comfort until it got wet (now crappy comfort and material has not worn well). WOuld I buy another Corbin, no (unless it was CHEAP $$). If looking for style they've got that down pat. For comfort, with no style I use the corbin seat and AirHawk seat pad. Lots more comfortable, but I guess I could put the airhawk on any seat and it would work. | ||

corbin makes a fine saddle. very firm foam, will break in nicely after a good 1000 mile weekend. just go ride. | ||

Just sat on an X1 equipped with a Corbin Gunfighter yesterday. Was a used bike trade in. Either the seat was brand new and never broke in or it was custom made for a big person. Hard as a rock, no real pocket for your butt, way too wide between the thighs, too slippery, just a miserable seat. Really don't understand it. I have had and even sold Corbin's and never been on a saddle like this. I hope this is truly a one off bad experience. | ||

The Corbin Gunfighter I had on my Blast was rock hard for me and no amount of riding made it better. But(t), the fellow I sold it to absolutely loved the thing. He weighed like 40 lbs more than me and was able to compress the gel stuff so the seat was comfortable. YCMV (your comfort might vary). My XB9S has a custom seat made by a company in Seattle (Rich's) that is top-notch in every way (including price...). | ||

I purchased a Corbin seat for my 1998 S1 twintail when I got the bike new. The rubber pads fell off the first year and it would come loose after a couple of hours of riding. It is too wide so you cannot slide off the seat as easy when you enter a corner and it makes you slide back too far so more weight is on your arms. Needless to say I am not happy with it. I have over 51,000 miles on my bike with most of them on the stock seat. | ||
