Ruskin, Fl | That's $800 WITH heat. $600 w/o. Looks nice, but my factory seat is pretty comfortable. |

Milwaukee, WI United States | Wow, nice looking seat. I hope someone will be able to give a review of it. I'd be very interested in this product. Could you tell if this seat would work on the premium with a trunk?
Has anyone seen any other after market seats that can plug into the Vision heating system? |

Sugar Land, TX (Outside of Houston) | What a cute little Trunk  A "Mini Me" Tour Trunk for the Street. I guess it's better than no trunk at all but it kinda looks like it would barely hold your wallet. |

according to the website you can use it with the factory trunk. I have never had a Corbin seat but I have friend who use only Corbin seats. they say they are very comfortable.
I personally like the clean look of the passanger backrest. I don't like the "mini trunk" but that is an option |

Tucson, AZ | When i rode Harleys i tried every imaginable seat and none seemed as comfortable as my stock Vision seat. I reckon it all depends on how much you ride. I have done several 700 mile days on the Vision and have no complaints. For me the money would be better spent on gas, food, a campground, or motel.

Fargo, ND | I had a Corbin seat on my '05 Hammer. Much more comfortable than the stock Hammer seat (especially for the co-pilot), but the Vision seat is 100% more comfortable than the Corbin was. They make a fine seat, and very high quality, but I doubt the factory Vision seat can be improved upon unless you want a backrest for the pilot, which I find unnecessary with the high rise on the rear of the saddle. I agree. Save your money and spend it on chrome and powdercoating. |

Reno County, KS | Did Corbin use memory foam padding for their seat like the OEM Vic? I'm pretty happy with my seat but I could use a little perforation for cooling "down below". Maybe a new seat covers would be okay but I like the comfort of the OEM. |

| As I posted at the VMC, Corbin is not Victory friendly. On the '99s the Corbin seat would not allow the rails to be mounted with it.  A friend bought a new Vic this summer with Corbin bags and he is on his third set.
Also remember their seats are leather and water gets through the stitching holes and soaks the foam. I remember Tom's Corbin took 3 days to dry on his '99 after riding through a heavy rain.
I have talked to HD guys and they love them. Some have told me about sending a Corbin seat back that was years old and Corbin did it all over for free. Maybe when they stick Victory on it they don't give a crap? They remind me of Samson pipes. Of course Samson has a saloon in their building at Sturgis now and just have their pipes available at an 18 wheeler in the parking lot? |

Cumming, GA | Put a Corbin on my KPT and can't stand it. If it wasn't for the back rest, I would go back to the stock.
Good thing I have a vision with the Utopia backrest. |

| I`ve had Corbins on other bikes and liked them. They`re great if you like a pretty firm seat.
But the stock vision seat is nice. Leather would be nicer.

I am unsure if this seat is any different, but I am NOT a fan of Corbin. Their seats (I have owned two) are very hard. They look great but have little or no padding. yes, they are comfy for about an hour and then the hardness eats into my pants and makes me want to get off.
I am going to a custom stitching guy here in Denver to have mine customized to the way I want it to look. It will be around 400 compared to double that for a Corbin. |

Stockton, Ca. | Ever heard of Russell Day Long saddles? If anyone makes comfort it is Russell. They will custom taylor the seat to your height, weight and inseam. I used one on my BMW and it is truely a "Day Long" seat. My stock Vision seat is comparable to the Day Long, if anyone can improve on it it would be the folks at Russell. No need though... :-) |
