Corbin Seat
06/09/20 at 15:20:24
 
Hey All, I've had my 2019 S40 for a little over a month now and super happy with it... ok, except for the seat. I ran a search and found a couple of brief mentions of a Corbin seat, but no real feedback on how anyone liked it. If anyone out there put one on their bike I would really appreciate hearing your opinion. Corbin wants $423.00 for a new one. I don't mind paying if it was/is a good upgrade. Thanks in advance.

I’ve had Corbin seats on a number of bikes but not my S40. There are mixed reviews on Corbin. I’ve loved them. They are a bit hard at first but eventually contour to your back side and become very comfortable. They are quality made and long lasting.

My parts gs450 from the 80s came with one. Very little wear on it, obviously very used as the little bit of leather on it was really hard.

I had a Corbin seat for a few months.
I kept it on that long only because I paid so
much money for it.

It scrunched me too far forward on the bike
and didn't allow me to slide back when I
needed to stretch out a little. (I'm 5'-11")
I thought the contour and the quality of the
Corbin was good, but it wasn't as comfortable
as the stock seat for longer rides.

Note:  You need to raise the front of the stock
           seat by at least an inch for the best comfort.

Here's the thread on how to do that:

I hear you have to break them in to your posterior.
I found a deal on 1 so I tried it.  It pushes you forward.
I was afraid of denting the tank so I pulled it back off.
If I continued to use it I would need to cut the seat back.

I did ALOT of research into seats. I had an issue with a very sore tailbone on the stock seat. Based on info from this site I got hold of a another one-piece seat and went to town on it. I moved the rectifier from under the seat, cut the bump out of the seat-pan, reshaped the foam (with a carving knife and 80 grit sandpaper, and got it re-covered for $150.

Now I can slide forward in the twisties or slide back on the highway ... and ... it looks pretty good.

This strategy is not for everyone, but I found the learning curve to be well worth it.

Here's the thread where IslandRoad
shows the mods he made to his seat:

He provides good pictures of what he did.

There's also good discussion on that thread
by other members about the seat.
