Judging by the distance from my crotch to the tank, I'd say about two or three inches. I'll have a better idea how it is when I get a long ride in. AL

I may have to get forward controls if it's too close. I just ordered a TKAT forkbrace and was looking at Routy's forward controls but they may be pushing them too far ahead. I think there is a certain height requirement for them. Let me know and thanks! KC

I have the Corbin and it does put you a couple of inches forward. I also have Routy's forward controls. I am 5'9 with a 32" inseam. This combo put me too close to the bars (I was leaning back a little) so I bought a broomstick handlebar. This took away the 4.5" pullback from the stock drag bar, and now I lean a bit forward which is very comfy for my 61 year old back. Another solution would have been to turn the stock risers around, which would have moved the bars forward about 3", but the brake line would have interfered with the windshield. Now I can ride through two tanks of gas before needing a stretch.

So I may be in the same boat as you since I am an inch taller. My arms might be longer but I have to sit on my bike and take some measurements. Thanks for Taking the time to help me out. KC.

I have a pretty good review for the corbin seat. After riding all last week in the mountains of N.C. & Tenn. I can say that I've found the right seat. I'm not sure of the total miles we did all week but I know that we did over 300 miles on saturday and my butt wasn't sore at all. I could have riden more but i was exhausted. I know with the stock seat and even the sportster seat, I would have been in bad shape. It was expensive, over 300 with shipping but i think it was well worth it. Even with the forward sitting position it was fine. I used my highway pegs alot and that was really comfy.
