Corbin Seats

Basket weave

My seat has the basket weave pattern,very comfy!

I guess this is for a supersport? I've had 2 of them and it is probably the best mod for the buck. The Corbin is great, mine has slight texture on the leather and tri-color flag in the crotch. 600 mile treks, no problem.

The interesting part is that I cannot determine why it is comfortable. It is flat and feels harder. It just works.

Have your checked the Sargent seats?? http://www.sargentcycle.com/

I got the leather version on my monster and ST, thought about getting the "carbon fibre" one for my SS, weather is a bit more "classy" imo while the carbon fibre looks nice racy (keep in mind i haven't seen it in real life). I assume both will stay good with use, since they're corbin

PS: i assume you know it's not really carbon fibre? it's a lookalike product.

Sargent doesn't make the solo seat (SL or FE). The carbon fiber look leather may be the way to go.

I agree about the corbin feeling hard to the touch but being comfortable. Put the basketweave pattern one on when I had 2000 miles on my bike and am still enjoying it 36,000 miles later. Took it out of the box and rode from Ohio to Daytona Beach without any problems. I highly recommend this seat.

I"ve got the Corbin solo seat in basket weave - agree with Varmit: hard, flat, but comfortable. It's heavy and wide, but looks fine once mounted. I'd do it again.

Corbin's current basket weave material seems to hold up much better than previous generations and is quite comfortable(I've got an R80G/S with a basket weave saddle that I've logged some miles on)...the carbon look stuff is really nice, and appears to be very durable.

I will be putting an FE tail section on my '98 CR soon. I found a basket weave Corbin 2 piece seat on eBay for a good price and was very happy with the quality and fit.

One interesting possible side benefit from installing a Corbin a mono SS is that the nose of the saddle where it meets the tank may provide additional support and distribute the load of rider weight in a way the stock unit doesn't, thereby minimizing cracking around the tail's lower support holes. This has been reported to me from a couple of folks who have gone to a Corbin. Your mileage may vary...
