Corbin SoloTour vs stock CVO

[EmptyNapalm]

Hope those pictures attached correctly...

As you can see I placed some scrap wood under the stand, so the bike isn't straight up, but pretty damn close. Also, the measurement pics are a little deceiving; the new seat supports more on the outside than the stocker did.

Corbin raised me up a bit, but not enough to really bother me. Support went from cuddling my brown star with the stocker, to supporting most of my rear.

As far as comfort, I think it'll take a few rides to let you know. The stock seat squishes to almost nothing with me on it, and the new one has almost no squish at all... kind of worried about it, but I'm willing to take the abuse to wear the seat in.

I'm currently riding with a Corbin Gunfighter seat that took a good 500-700 miles to get properly broken in so be patient with your new one. That said, now that it is formed to my "tooshie" I can ride for days in absolute comfort and wouldn't ride with anything other than a Corbin seat moving forward.

Hope this helps!

btw...the new seat looks great on the bike!!

I had the Mustang Wide Tripper for my 2014 for 1 season. Bought it so that it would move me back about 1.5" and allow me to buy a bigger softer separate for the wife without having it on the bike all the time. It was the Mustang Tripper Passenger for her. I really liked it once it broke in. The back stop is a bit soft to me so it flex's some when the passenger seat isn't on which is most of the time for me.

Now that I have the CVO, I have only ridden a couple hundred miles on the seat and seem to really like it, but miss being back that 1.5 so I may be putting the Mustang back on.

Point to all of this rambling is I think that you have to "Break In" all of the aftermarket seats to get their true feeling so Good luck! The CVO seat is in high demand if you decide to sell it.

Most mustang and Corbin seat will take about 1000 miles to break in. So give it some time and go ride then give us a review after 1000 miles.
