JO -- I saw one of them awhile back on the brick of the corn bike, if I'm not mistaken. I thought it looked good...gray, i think.
Love to see em when you get a chance,

you did good there f14... yours looks 100%... and the quilted seats are generally a thing of the past... basket weave and smooth seems to be the deal these days...

here is a smooth ruzzle... the mickster would slide into me all the time... had a seat guy pull the cover and put a piece of foam on the front of passenger part to keep her back there... he restretched and mounted the cover and all was good...

Thanks Johnny. Very nice shots.

Which seat do you use now?
Looks like 2 different ones.

Here are  2 pics of my Corbin seat that I bought used from IBMWR classified. It is a lot better than OEM but could be better yet.
It is very hard, like all Corbins and you have to jam your azz into the "cup" which seems to be a bit small for me and I wear a size 33 waist jeans.

Looks pretty good though...

Garmins look sumptuously comfortable but I like to push on pegs and slide around a little. I am guessing that butt-bespoke seats inhibit that. Numbing. I just had my OEM brick seat restored. - J

My Corbin Dual Canyon was alright for the first season but for the 2nd season it was like straddling a large pipe...seemed like all my weight was on my inner thighs. I'd be sore for over a week completely off the bike. I'm trying to sell the damn thing cheap

Hey Scott,

Your Corbin looks bigger that mine around where the butt resides. I've seen all different configurations of Corbins. I've got one for my R90 that has no butt cup at all. I rode that one for well over 100,000 mi. until the cover rotted away.
 Don't know if I will use this one for a lot longer though. I can put the money I get for it towards the Russell....(Don, great idea).


I rode around today with the new handlebar adjustment (lower) and it was better than before... :clap:

Will I still be able to use my heated grips on another handlebar (K75c or K100 Standard) that wasn't made for HG's ? I think I have to drill somewhere...??? This is all new to me, so I apologize if this question sounds really, really stupid.

Gryph has some bars for sale that are drilled for HG.

Don't know if they would work for what you are wanting.

I have a Sargent seat on my new S model.  Seat pan says made by Corbin(???).  Great seat for about 2 hours of the first day of a trip.   Absolutely no pocket for those bones on either side of my asshole. 

Picked up an AirHawk seat pad, and so far it seems to have made the seat pretty comfy.  Haven't has the opportunity to spend more than two hours on it yet.  Only when I get some serious time this spring will I be able to say if it corrects the problem.

Don, I got your message.  I have a set of what looks like heated C bars on my K100RS.  Hope to have them off some time this month.  I'm pretty busy right now with other stuff so no time to do the swap.

Take your time. I won't be doing any mods until the season starts. Does the bar accommodate heated grips?

I don't know why they don't make plain old bench seats anymore. They work for me. you can actually move around to where you want to be. I have the OEM bench seat on my R90 and I can ride all day long, day after day.

 Sargent seats look a lot like Corbins. I think that Corbin was so busy that they subbed out their over flow to them.
