Corbin has always had shitty CQ when it comes to their products actually fitting, and they are NOT helpful when you call them about it. I bought my first Corbin seat in 1984 for a 500 Interceptor... I put 80K miles on that bike and seat, and I ended up selling the seat for what I poaid for it after the bike died. Even with their fit issues, IO am still damn near pulling the trigger on a Corbin for my new Triumph Sprint ST.
Doug,
Corbins take a loooooooooooooooooooong time to break in.

Same deal with the Corbin on my TLS, it fit like crap and required fabricating to get it on. It also weighed a ton.
Needless to say, after my Corbin experience, I went with a Sargent on the FZ1. Unlike the Corbin, it is actually lighter than stock. It is a very high quality seat with a precision made base pan that fits like OEM.
The "Atomic foam" used in it rates on the Rockwell scale though. At least it is shaped well and it keeps my nuts off the gas tank. That was the main reason for the purchase. Bicycle shorts seem to take care of the rest. Final salvation in my quest to make the FZ1 less of a weapon of ass destruction will come when the harsh stock rear shock is ditched in favor of a Penske

A Kourier has to establish space on the pavement. Predictable law-abiding behaviour lulls drivers. They mentally assign you to a little box in the lane, assume you will stay there, can't handle it when you leave that little box.
Y.T. is not fond of boxes. Y.T. establishes her space on the pavement by zagging mightily from lane to lane, establishing a precedent of scary randomness. Keeps people on their toes, makes them react to her, instead of the other way round.

Sargent doesn't make a seat for my '08 Sprint ST
I like a harder seat because I find at the end of a long day my butt isn't as sore as it would be from sinking into a soft seat
