I bought the seat three years back for my 2005 R1200GS, it was around $425 (front only). I had bought that GS used from a lady who had whittled down the factory low seat so I needed something. I tried Sargent and Corbin seats, both had me sliding down/forward to the front but Corbin's firmer bucket fit me best. I noticed a lot of owners had the rear in the lower with the front in the higher position as a remedy. I want as much knee room as possible so I had them raise the front .5" when they built it and set it in the high/high position. It followed me on my 09, and now to this Adventure.
Do you have an Adventure or GS? The standard front seat on a GS is an inch lower than the one on an Adventure. (The "low" version being lower yet.) Corbin makes both a GS and Adventure version so I assume this one is lower. But with the front being a bit wider than stock (but much better support when riding), as well as mine being raised .5", it has the effect of feeling a bit taller when you stop. This seat on the low settings would feel about like a standard factory seat in the high position, only w/o the forward slope.
Thanks. Being an orphan brand for the Harley dealer, along with the slow time of the year, must have worked together because I'm not one that stumbles onto bargains very often!
I find a sheepskin is the best thing in the real heat and I find without one, it gets a little sweaty and uncomfortable
