Kincardine, Ontario, Canada | Technically challenged, so I don't know how to add the photos to the email, but you can see them in my gallery.
Just installed the Corbin seat with backrest on the bike. I had to shim the mounting brackets to account for the poor pan design fit up. The seat is about 15 lbs heavier than stock. It definitely raises you about 1" and sits you back slightly more. The seat is firmer than stock, but the jury is still out as to whether I will like it. If I resell it, I'll post it here.
I do like the backrest better than the Utopia, height wise they are the same, but the Utopia's square top never felt comfortable. Probably just me as others swear by the design.
I'll follow this up once I've ridden more with the Corbin.

Northeastern Penna. | I still like the stock seat much more than the Corbin, which is on the Ness Vision. It's definitely a
matter of opinion,but the Corbin is too firm for me. |

...Corbin, which is on the Ness Vision.
Are you sure? I could have sworn I read that Arlen used a seat with less padding and that sat lower to help with the overall "lowered" look and feel of his bike. |

I believe Ness seat as well as "Victory Vision" aftermarket seat are made by Saddleman.
Both have GEL inserts and both will roast the chestnuts in the heat!!! |

| FYI, Saddleman does not make a seat for the vision or any Victory bike.  |

I emailed Saddleman, they will redo my seat if I send it to them. Probably will be a winter project |

Citrus Heights, CA United States | Once broken in at about 1500 miles the seat will mold to your butt and be about 1/2 " lower because it has memory foam so will not sag Seat will not seem as firm as it is when new Have had mine for about 1 year and 10k later I still can ride for 4-5 hours with no fatigue. |
