Title: Seats?
Post by: stokester on April 27, 2018, 03:48:37 PM
My new-to-me K75S has the OEM seat while the former commuter mule K75S has had the Sargent seat since I've owned it, I don't know the quality or lack-thereof the original seat.  I don't find a listing on the Sargent site for the K75 but found one on the Corbin for a Canyon.  My '91 R100RT has a Corbin Canyon and I like it although I'm aware that many do not like Corbin seats.


Are all the K75 seats interchangeable?

Do you want to swap your stock seat for a Corbin canyon?

Straight up....Corbin is in nice shape.

Thanks for the offer but I'm not sure yet.  I need to put on some miles to see how the stock seat fits me.

Regarding seats.  I have had a number of different seats on my bricks and according to my back and ass the most consistently comfortable(I've had three of them on three different bricks) is the BMW comfort seat.   Next is the Russell Day Long(had two of those on my RT). 

I can and have been on my RT for 12-14 hour riding days with no pain despite a bad back on those seats.   I was able to do a 24 hr/1500 mile Iron Butt run on a Russell Day Long with backrest.

On the other hand, I have found the stock bench seat to be nice for commuting and trips around town, but is too hard for anything longer than a couple hours.  I don't know what model Corbin I got with my K75S, but I can barely run through a full tank of gas on the Interstate on that seat before the pain in my ass, back and shoulders become unbearable.  It's a beautiful seat, but the hard surface and the riding position are just really hard on my body.  It would be the first choice when I'm taking photos for a Craig's List ad to sell a bike, but it's the main reason why I would go for one of my other bikes when heading out for a ride.  And the reason why it's been replaced with a comfort seat.

Seat threads are like oil threads, you'll never get a unanimous agreement.  My stock seat was 100miles tops, pure butt torture.  I've had 2 Corbin Canyons since and they've both been tank after tank comfortable.  (1st one got ripped up in an encounter with a deer) Heard lots of good things about Russell but they look funny, never tired one.

I've got one of Johnny's unwhacked stock seats, and my taint has felt great ever since.

Seth gets my vote, quality and comfort kicks Corbin to the curb. (actually, I threw it to the curb)

I like my corbin too. The stock wasn't bad but I like the Corbin better. to each his own.

I'm of the same opinion as beemuker.  Corbin is great for my ass, much better than the stock.  I've never tried a Russell Daylong.
