OK.. Doing my pre-purchase research.. Today I'm looking at the Corbin seat and Smuggler.. obviossly the whole package is insanely over-priced but... that aspect is secondary if I get what I want... but after looking at the pics on their website.. I am now very concerned about another aspect... The seat itself. Would like opinions from some K1200S Corbin seat owners//
I like the factory seat as it's thin up front and you can move around very easily on it.. easy to hang off.. plenty of room to move..fore and aft.. I can actually sit flat-footed with the stocker on the bike. For a short guy like me.. that's usually unheard of and confidence inspiring.
The Corbin looks like it locks you into place like a GoldWing...with that big stop at the back.. It also looks much wider which would be great for long distance touring, but horrible for corner carving.. Some of you FAST riders out there...Please tell me I'm wrong as I really want that Smuggler... If my butt is gonna be locked in.. that would be a deal breaker..
Last issue.. How is the height on it when compared with the lowish factory seat??
All opinions welcome...
