I did exactly the same thing a couple days ago. Hope it was the right move. Delivery is out a month or more so I'll have to hold on for a bit longer.

crimson04 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I tried adding some extra padding to my behind to save money on a seat but it's still boney lol. I can appreciate the Corbin but it's pricey and I'm waiting to see what all will be out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidproquo Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Incidentally - Corbin's seat heater rocks. It's October in New England and my tushie is coddled in lovely warmth starting from a couple blocks from my house all the way to work. Highly recommended. I'd add a heat controller and/or a relay to the seat wiring so it turns off with the key, otherwise a dead battery is sure to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobaintstoppin Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well, my Corbin came in this week. Install was really easy as the fit is perfect. Very rigid base support and it snaps right in to place. I'm quite pleased about that. Yesterday was about 50 degrees F here in New England, so I headed for the Catskills (over the border into NY) for a test ride. Did a total of 200 miles of back roads. This is a huge improvement over both the stock and the Seat Concepts. With a bit more break in time I'm thinking this is an all day saddle. In another thread, someone was recommending a Russell. I've had one and they are great, but they depend on the OEM seat pan, and I think that's a problem for the FJ. I'd have to say that Corbin has the right plan in making a new pan for better support. Anyway, here is a shot of the new saddle at my ride-to-eat destination: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboa Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I wonder if heat contrloller fot Tourmaster jacket heat liner would work. My Corbin is in wi pick up tomorrow. Din't want to keep adding pigtails to the battery terminals. When I turn that key off I want all electrics to go off. What they call that electrical plAte that gets your pigtails off your battery terminals? 2015 FJ-09 matte gray 2013 Honda CB1100 2004 Triumph T100 Bonneville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbin suits me better. The tank bag is a Givi as per here: http://www.twistedthrottle.com/givi-3d603-4l-tanklock-semi-rigid-tankbag But I installed it backwards as it looked really stupid when set normally. Only issue with this is that the zipper closes at the front. It's quite small so I've had to get used to having less stuff available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fj09rider Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Help! I installed the Corbin seat on my FJ09. Installed easily, fits great, and super comfortable. Problem is that the OEM key lock won't turn to remove the seat! Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobaintstoppin Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 fj09rider, My seat lock works great with the corbin, but this is an issue that is typical with Corbin. You either need to gently lift up on the seat to release the pressure on the lock, or more likely, you need to push down pretty hard. That is hard enough to compress the rubber bumpers and lower the seat enough to relieve the latch pressure. If the latter works, you can then put a washer or two under the latch wire loop under the seat pan to better line things up. Good luck and do post your solution.

trench Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Push the seat down and twist the lock. Same for putting on. Push down hard or just hit it down with the palm of your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member martyl Posted December 31, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 31, 2015 At first after around 100 miles I get uncomfortable on my Corbin seat. Now at 4000 miles I don't have that issue. The seat is breaking in to my butt or my butt is breaking in to the seat... I also bought the Corbin seat conditioner. Good product to keep the seat protected. Easy to apply. The Corbin seat looks great on the FJ09. The stock seat hard angles on the sides cut off circulation on the insides of my thighs. Didn't like the stock seat from the first time I rode the bike but I knew there would be aftermarket seats available. A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road....
