without question Corbin.
Just did a trip to Faro in Southern Portugal, 3 days down and 3 days back with detours it was about 1400 miles each way, no problem at all, I have the big TT tank and a full tank is 450+ and that's no problem in one hit

I have a sheepskin cover on mine, makes a big difference in my opinion, it`s also the cheapest option to try first.

Got to be worth a bash before you start changing seats.

Corbins
These take a while to bed in and can need abit of fettling to fit in the first place (what do you expect for £600 quid?) but once bedded in to your bum
they are brilliant.

Corbin again, 3 days of the Riders and no problems. Standard seat is useless after about 150 miles. though padded cycling underwear can help.

Rebuilt seat with gel insert and plastic Airhawk - have done over 2000 miles in 42 hours and many 1000 mile days with this combination and no butt ache. Also look at what you are wearing - makes a big difference.

Good to know somebody else is still using this combo. I am still on my original stadium cushion. For less than £20 for both it is still the best value IMHO.

Opps sorry Rob, too many beers ...
Me too
agree completely, used that combo with the standard seat and one that had been recovered and extra foamed etc, however it does not come close to the Corbin, got one on the harley and the bmw and if they did one for the ktm I would have one for that as well, before I get new panniers, extra lights, big tank anything. For a big fat fecker with a big fat arse there is nothing better !!!
the sheepskin and stadium seat was good but not as good, certainly not good enough to run my 42ltr tank from full to empty in one hit without a stop, which I can now.

yip thats the ones, do ya go to uk on the bike or with work?
Sheepskin I reckon. If you regularly do big miles your bum will just get used to the standard seat anyway though IMO.

Both,have to leave herself the car,go over pretty regular,shows and the like(and some peace and quiet)
Lambland sheepskin worked well for me - 550 miles in a day back from the Stella - no pain.
