Bought a Corbin seat, should be a better seat, right?

Compared w original seat:
I slide backwards, more weight on rear - spongy feeling.
Lower back more bent = back ache.
Very firm cellfoam, bones in rear end ache after 1 km (but doesn´t ache more after 50km... , positive ).
If I slide all the way back, I have to sit very upright - strange posture - backache.
Impossible to find same position on bike as OEM seat - bad weight distribution & to much on rear).
Summary seat position - more custom feel.

So,
what am I missing?

Gert,

Not sure how it could be so poor. My secondhand Corbin seat is a beauty (even if it is bright yellow - must do something about that) it certainly feels different to OEM seat, but provides significantly more support; particularly over longer distance.

I am wondering if you have a gunfighter, or a gunfighter+lady. I have a gunfighter, and an oem seat. I switch between them. The oem seat is a lot firmer, but I use the corbin for long rides. I even recently went on a 400 mile ride about six weeks ago. Is your seat brand new? Perhaps it will be more comfortable after its broken in a little. I certainly hope so.

You can sit back further in the seat with the Corbin, you don't have to sit on your Family Jewels & squash them each time you go over a bump like you do on eth original seat. Give it a little time to get used to the Corbin, it is a better shaped seat & will offer greater comfort than the original. Maybe you are the person the original seat was designed for & don't suffer these problems. I am 6 foot tall & find the Corbin a huge improvement because I can sit further back on the seat. My partner prefers teh new seat as well.

I have this Corbin on my Paso....



I really can't evaluate it compared to the stock seat as my stock seat has been shaved and I haven't logged any miles on it. I have put about 400 miles on the Corbin, but it's been on short jaunts of 50 miles or less and it has been fairly comfortable. I mainly have it on the bike because I like the way it looks with the red piping (that trim stripe around the back of each section of the seat).

The one I have (not my bike):

Would probably look good, yes.

But it it gives you a bad riding position.

Does anybody want more weight on rear? Seriously?

I love my corbin saddle. I can do 800 mile days no problem on it.

Donaldoduck, nevermind the seat what about those pipes, nice interpretation! Did you do that yourself? Please tell me that is NOT a restrictor hanging out the back of the pipes though.
Nice 907
