I want to buy a new seat and I think I found the seat. Just want to see if anyone else has this seat and what they think of it and if its worth the $600 investment. Corbin Motorcycle Seats & Accessories | Yamaha FZ6 Fazer Motorcycles | 800-538-7035
Did you like your seat?
I started with the standard seat and a 250 mile day hurt!! I then sent it to Spencer and had the supracor update done. It was better, but still not great. I found damn near brand new Corbin on eBay for $300 shipped and bought it. It was better than the Spencer mod by a good margin. I was a happy camper until ...... I got the chance to buy a tall Corbin (I am 6ft 6 tall) and jumped at it. It's just perfect. I can sit in it (not ON it) for a whole day.
One thing you will hear people bitch about is how slick a Corbin is. A Corbin has a leather cover and as such unless you condition it, especially when new, it will be slick. Also I used to suffer from heat from the exhaust coming through the seat (I live in Texas) with both the original and the Spencer mod'd seats. The Corbin uses a much heavier/denser base and that issue appears to have been cured.
Here are some photos to let you see what the different seats look like. from left to right they are Spencer mod'd, Standard Corbin and Raised and lenghtened Corbin.
i have a corbin and the stock seat. I like the stock seat better for trips less than an hour because the corbin has less grip on my textile pants. My butt still gets sore with the corbin it just takes slightly longer
I have a corbin with the back rest ad two luggage brackets for sale. All for $500 including shipping in the lower 48.
let me know if interested.
