docsimple Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I cant wait to see this in production. I really hate the look of the Corbin, and every Corbin I have ever sat on felt like a rock! 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsimple Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 sadly these damn holidays will probably get in the way of pics of this seat. I put on the Seat Concepts but I'm not overjoyed with it. 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member michael Posted January 27, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 27, 2016 Strange they are so slow. Back in 1993 I had a brand new Honda CBR900RR (Fireblade in EU). Checked with Corbin, they told me they did not have one yet but if I would bring them my bike they would use it for the prototype and make it while I waited. At the time I lived in San Francisco so riding to Hollister was no big deal. I got there in the morning, hung out there for about 4 hours (they bought me lunch in their cafeteria and i got to tour the facility and see their cool little bike museum. They finished the seat and I rode back home. Why does Sargent need weeks or months to do what Corbin did while I waited? Mind you, I have had 3 or 4 Sargents on various motorcycles and was very happy with all of them, but this is silly. The FJ-09 is Yamaha's fastest selling bike!

checkereddemon Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 DocSimple complained: "and every Corbin I have ever sat on felt like a rock!" Not mine! I ordered 2 weeks ago (from Darrell Stueckel) from Corbin. I told him that I had a very boney ass due to my extreme weight loss from chemo/rad and he said he'd tell production to see if they could do something. They did!! The top layer is very cushy, maybe 3/4" of "give" - definitely softer than the last 2 Corbins I've had. Additionally, Corbin offers free adjustments to your seat within, I think, a 60 day period. Just tell 'em what needs adjusting and ship it to them. FWIW, the shipping weight for the seat was 15.6 lbs (about 7 kilos)...

Premium Member michael Posted January 27, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 27, 2016 I am feeling like Sargent just is not with the program on this one. I just ordered the Seat Concepts setup and I am going to have a local guy install it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member johan Posted January 27, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 27, 2016 I got this response: Hello Johan it does take a surprisingly long time actually. A bike needs to be repeatedly sourced for the various stages of pattern development, which can take time. Plus there is the development of injection moulds etc, another time-extensive process. Then, there is testing, re-design, re-testing etc etc. Quality products take time!

I don't recommend Corbin unless you do a ride in. Their off the shelf selection always takes inches away from the pillion and adds it to the rider.

mardak Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The Sargent seat I bought for my gen2 FZ1 was only designed for people under 180lbs. It was worse than stock for my 230+lb frame (other than successfully preventing the dreaded forward slide nut crush). I loved the look of it, but could only ride for 10 minutes before my sitting bones felt bruised. I'm curious how the FJ Sargent seat will be for us clydesdales...
