I own a corbin, as well as a few other other guys on here. I think it is safe to say that anyone who owns one only has good things to say about them. I like mine alot. Although I have a travelcade as well, and I prefer that over the corbin for comfort.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

I love my Corbin... and you can have it -- when the pry my cold, dead butt cheeks off it!
For the early Kat 600s (I think pre-98 600), they have stopped making the seat-pans for them in-house (not sure why), so you need to send them a seat that they can use the pan out of to make your seat -- unless the pre-96 Kat 750 takes the same seat (???).
You can find the info on what they offer here:

I have a Corbin on my '02 750. I'm finding it kinda hard and flat, and damn if I'm not feeling a heck more vibration than I use to. However, I've only had it on for about 3 weeks, so I'll wait a bit more and break it in before I pass final judgement. Hopefully it gets better before my 3K km trip in a month's time!
Looks nice on the bike thou...

I scored one from the owner of this site for dirt cheap ! :P Yeah , they're wider for sure , and a little less padding , but oddly it's not uncomfortable . No REAL roadtrip yet , but on some 300 mile play-days , I was doin okay at the end of the day ...
Cyber , pre 600 and 750 use different seats . 600 has a two-piece seat thing .

I've heard nothing but good about Corbin.
Actually looking to possibly get the one with the little passenger flip up back thing for when my wife goes along.
...when I get it running againThanks to KR, everytime I look at my bike, my wallet screams "NOOOOOOOoooooo"

She only got to go out riding with me maybe 4 times last year, so she was really looking forward to going this summer until it broke.Thanks to KR, everytime I look at my bike, my wallet screams "NOOOOOOOoooooo"

Originally posted by The CyberPoetI have to say... and this is meant with no disrespect to anyone... if you have a hard boney arse & thin thighs and sit squarely on the stock seat, the corbin can be a let down... on the other hand, if your bottom spreads and/or you have large thighs, you'll normally be more comfy on the Corbin. It does take quite some time to break in (using mink oil helps soften the leather for break-in), and you really need to hours in the saddle at a pop to appreciate it for the most part... The biggest difference is the way you feel after 4 or 8 or 12 hours in the saddle.
