No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThose Corbin seats really look good on the bike, that alone makes them worth the money if you want to spend that much. I recently bought one of these repro seats and am very pleased with it. I think it will be comfortable enough for the distances I'll be doing, certainly better than 40 year old foam in the "original" LTD seat someone had transplanted somewhere in the past.. If only I still had my 18 year old backside any seat would work, now my butt is very picky.



Check around if you are interested, I've seen them a bit cheaper.

the corbin seat does look good on the bike and it is alot of money. I look at other repro. I think im going to buy it this winter and I want to be able to ride for long periods without my 54yr old backside hurting. I remember riding for hours without even thinking of hurting.I really love this bike and I want to keep her till I die.

Corbin seats are great for comfort. At first it was like sitting on a log, but soon it will wear in and im sure you'll like it. watch all your helmet hoocks when you put it on. Ive bought the gun fighter and its good for the miles I want to get gunfighter and a lady for my next bike as I like more room to move around

iv'e been debating between the original look or the gunfighter and the lady..I really like their looks.I have the saddleman now and it's not very comfortable a half hour out. I thought about getting a gell pack put in it and then I really do like the corbin seat

I used to ride 140 miles from college to my parents home without stopping and never even think about getting uncomfortable on my Honda 500 when I was 18-20 age. Now at 55, I can find myself getting discomfort after 30 or 40 miles on some of my bikes and in certain road conditions, like really straight roads. I desperately need a Corbin for my BMW the stock seat is horrible. Only my Triumph Tiger makes my privates go to sleep though, you'd think all those vibes would work like a massage machine.

That's how I feel about mine, it will be the last one of my bikes I ever sell, perhaps I'll be buried on it :)
