aftermarket seats

It was a lot of riding, but I never got sore, no hot spots etc. Now when we first bought the bike and seat, 500 miles killed me... like anything else new... you wouldn't take a 50 mile hike in new boots without problems either!

Well someone has to say it     5000K in fifteen days !!! Ouch!!!

Yeah corbins are firm... I've had one for every bike I've owned for as long as I can remember. Have two now... I tried riding with the stock Goldwing seat and it burnt me up and killed my back. Replaced it with a corbin. I have NEVER had "hot spots" with a corbin. I rode over 5000K miles in 15 days on one a couple of years ago... no problem. If you want a comfy chair feel to your seat... don't buy corbin and deal with the "monkey butt" and hot spot issues. It sorta like getting used to a saddle on a horse... they are firm for good reason IMHO.

Corbins are hard......too hard for my butt.  Some people swear by them though.

I don't have one, but if I were in the market for a new seat I'd go with travel horse.
