Title: Corbin 2 up seat
Post by: Pilgrim on June 01, 2015, 08:43:53 AM
Put the Corbin 2 up saddle on my bike this weekend to finally take the girlfriend for a ride...This seat came with the bike and I immediately took it off and put the solo on so I didn't ride much with it.  Noticed a couple things...

It sits considerably lower than the solo seat...where i was looking over the windshield with the solo, I am now looking through the windshield.

The passenger seat is slanted toward the driver so much that when you slow down it slams the passenger into the back of the driver...not that I mind that much because my girlfriend is well cushioned in that area. But seems like if they would have leveled the passenger seat more it would be a better seat.

Seems like the seat is a little hotter on your ass than the solo.

Other than that..pretty nice seat.  :)

My bike came with a Singh solo and a Corbin two-up.  The solo definitely sat higher.  I put the two-up on and the riding position and experience was much better, but yes, the butt gets hotter.  I need to take more breaks or I get monkey butt, much quicker.  I've kept the Corbin on, and I'll stick with it until I want a change of pace.

this is a really good option to make for a more comfortable ride, even works in the car.........

some people put holes and tie them on, I just set mine on and sit on it, never lost one yet.

DC your seat isn't a real Corbin is it? one of the benefits of a real Corbin over the oem and F&S seat, no hot spots.

  I bought the champagne just because it will not look as dirty. The one from Ikea is about half the size as the one I got, might have to cut it to fit.....
