Corbin seat

[SneakyDingo]

Not had time to put diablo seat on my bike yet have i wasted my money.

IMO the Diablo seat is difficult to say it's a waste of money. Lots of people are really happy with theirs, and IMO the resale value if you don't like it and opt for something like a Corbin should be easy to recover. My only complaint with the Diablo seat is I can't use the rear grab rail with gloves on (the gap is narrower between the seat and the rail). Aside from that, it crossed America with style and gave me as good an experience as I could have hoped for. I imagine the Corbin only improves on that experience, but for the average joe not clocking up 400+ mi days repeatedly, the Diablo is a good, quick fix that's easy to acquire.

My new seat

Following to see if you like it. I have the 2023 as well. Was the attachment the same as the 2022 the website shows? I was concerned with ordering it because of the cost and it not showing to fit the 2023.

I have had this seat for one week and about 20 miles and can say money well spent. I feel very planted on the bike now instead of sitting on top of a hard almost seat.Took me all of 10 min. to replace seat.

I have been through a bunch of seats on cruisers as well as my electric bike. Never found a great one but I have no complaints about the factory seat on the Honda Trail. For me this bike won't ever be a "cruise-control 60 miles until the next exit" machine. A couple miles and I am on-off opening a gate or shifting/leaning/standing on the pegs etc.I

Mine is a red 2022. Seat seems fine/ok/decent/nothing special. I only ride up to 1 and a half hours. Sao people ride different distances. Different pain levels, body geometry, different surfaces could be big, etc. Maybe some are softer from the factory than others. I'm just looking for the shorter sear for my daughter who is about 5/08'

For those that have the Corbin seats, can you post pictures and explain which material you decided to outfit the seat in. There's so many options and I'm not sure what looks the best or if there's a difference in how it wears..rides..? I appreciate it so much!

Perfect! Thank you so much for your feedback! Any issues with the shock over bumps as mentioned by another member?

No idea what that is.

 

[wndrsloth]

No idea what that is.

Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that you could feel every bump because there’s not much shock absorption.

 

[SneakyDingo]

The statement was that Corbin seats are comfortable because they're shaped really well, not because they have excessive padding, which means hard bumps will be transferred to the rider instead of absorbed.
