Thank you so much for Canadian distributor, this place rocks. I will run the Corbin seat this week and see if it starts to soften but I suspect mine is not Hollywood model., I feel like it sits me lower and more forward than stock seat.

Now one more stupid question, do I get the ed seat with orange stitching to match my bike or just go with plain resale black stitching that may also work on a next bike,


I have a Corbin on my Springer. It was on the bike when I bought it, and it looks good(to me) after the mods I did to the bike. It's hard as a brick and not very comfortable after extended periods. It sits me lower then the stock seat and a bit more forward. It reminds me more of a utility saddle. The Big Touring, will raise you enough to move you further back. One of the complaints about the stock seats from the bikes inception, was taller riders had issues across their back pockets, because of the way the seats were made.

If you want to try an ED seat you'll have a chance at our GTA meet-up. Not sure of time and place yet. I have the ED Big Touring, fits nicely for a taller guy. Or if you're located in the York Region we can get together any time.

Awesome thanks, skwearpeg I suspect you have the same Corbin seat I own and do not like. Any idea what I should sell it for? I am certain I do not like it.

Thank you for the offer bruisercruiser, I will take you up on that sometime for sure. I live and work in Newmarket and it sounds like the ed big touring will be my second costly change, really want a fairing first. No disrespect but I do not like the stock windshield at all. But I have installed mine and it does work but I would really prefer a batwing that's quick release.

I'm in Aurora, let me know when you want to get together. I have a Reckless fairing on mine so you might wanna look into that also.

Easy solution: Ride bitch when you're by yourself.
