Virginia Beach, VA United States | My Corbin saddle arrived yesterday and I love it. I have yet to ride with the seat installed; however, I know I will have no issue. Disclaimer, this is my third bike (02 RSV/07 GW/ 13 VV) that I have installed a Corbin seat so I know how the seat feels. I'm not going to post saddle dimensions because you can go the Corbin site for the specs.
I had the seat made with the ridge in the back because the stock saddle hit the wife's tailbone. With the Corbin she now has gained almost 3 inches of "rear" room. When the wife sat on the bike she noticed that she does sit higher. Also, her feet now barely touch the passenger floor boards. My wife is 5'4''.
I bought the heated version and Corbin places the heat switches on the left side of the saddle (not underneath like with the stock saddle) and easy to reach. The switches are also are three position (low, off, high) and lite up when the heater is on. Pics can be viewed on The Vog.

Columbia Co, WI | bchviking,
Does your seat have any vinyl on the sides of the passenger portion of the seat? |

Republic of Tejas | Has anyone just purchased the seat, but not the tour pack back cushion? I know it will probably look funky but that cushion back pad is some kind of expensive. |

The covering on the seat is the same though out the entire seat, top, sides and back. |

I only purchased the seat. It looks fine. |

Victoria Tx, TX United States | This past spring my Corbin showed up!! Bolted on and took off to Southern California From South Texas!! Leather seat Vinyl sides w/Heat. I understood the firmness and pressure points due to running a furniture store for 20 years and in the Mattress Business. MAKE SURE You have air in your rear shock!!!! I like it very much!! EVERYONE is different That is why there are other manufactures in the seat world!!
