    I kinda like my stock seat and my girlfriend says that it's not bad at all. I have always thought that Corbin's were hard. Are they???

      Corbin might be a little firmer than stock, but the shape gives you more surface area to support the weight, so it would feel softer once it gets broken in.

          Ride 2 up all the time on mine. As a matter of fact, when I started to do my mods, I was advised even though she has her own bike, she would still be a passenger once in a while and I was not allowed to make any non passenger changes...

          Started out combined of around 280lbs 10 years ago.. now we are upwards of 350lbs combined....

            Get over yourself. For me to think you are an idiot, I would first need to think of you.

                          IMHO: Given a Kat, the other half's height can be far more of an issue than her weight -- if she's as tall as you, the seat-height difference can make her head act like a sail and leave her with a sore neck. If you find this is the case, invest in the Corbin (yes, I sell them at a discount compared to Corbin or your local dealer), a seat-back and a taller "touring" windshield (see squiggy's post about various windshield brands/types/sizes).

                          Cheers

                            yeah there was no right answer, and flowers may not be a bad place to go.
                            So i just got my bike and haven't ridden 2up, but my 600 says it'll go 950 gross and the bike weighs 450 dry. That means I could carry some one my size, not that i'd ever pick up a girl my size

                                Heck, I weigh more than the two of you ocmbined, and my 750 seemed to sling me around just fine today.
