Title: Corbin Seat Post by Igggy on 11/10/13 at 18:00:28 I seriously considering getting the seat as a present to me. I've read it is a no-mod bolt on. Looking at the seat at their site I don't see how the back of the seat attaches. Can anyone talk to how the seat mounts? |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat Post by pgambr on 11/10/13 at 18:04:44 Just like oem. Although, the holes on mine were a 1/4 inch off. I've really enjoyed mine, took a little to get used to though. |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat Post by Borracho on 11/10/13 at 20:21:16 Bolts line up the same, but It will be more difficult to acces them, becuase the seat is stiffer underneath. I switched over to allen head bolts. This made it much easier to take off/on. |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat Post by Midnightrider on 11/10/13 at 20:41:53 I'd rather sit on the steel frame than a Corbin seat but that's just me because they're still in business I guess. |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat Post by Serowbot on 11/10/13 at 21:11:14 I sat on few bikes with Corbin's,.... including a Savage, and they don't appeal to me either... It's just a personal preference,.. or it depends on body type,.. but any seat is not a sure thing for anybody... Corbin's are very firm,... and the shape wrong for me... If you're buying a seat for comfort.... don't buy one without sitting on it... ;)... |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat Post by deejaysham on 11/11/13 at 07:35:42 I absolutely love my Corbin seat but when I first sat on it I was definitely surprised. It's much more of a bucket seat and you sit more forward on the bike. For me, I had purchased Routy's Forward Control extension brackets and was debating putting them on before I got my Corbin. I'm 5'9" and wondered if 6" extensions would be too much of a reach. After riding around on my Corbin for a few minutes it became clear that I needed to put those extensions on. But with the combination of the forward leg position on the Corbin seat, I'm in heaven. A few days after getting the forward controls on I set off on a few thousand mile road trip and I couldn't imagine doing it on the stock seat. One thing I know from my bicycle touring is that soft seats feel nice in the store when you try them out initially but for long distance a firm seat that fits your sit bones will get you farther than the road every time. I never once had any of the soreness on my trip that people said I'd get used to. |

To answer your question, there is no provision to bolt the Corbin on at the back. The frame of the Corbin is fiberglass, and does not flex like the plastic of the stock seat does, so it is not needed. .... and i think the Corbin is the best thing, along with forward controls, that you can do to make the bike comfortable. |
