Been testing my new Corbin-style seat made by Melvyn Hunter for the past two weeks and I'm very pleased with it. I've had about an inch or more added to raise the front seat level with the back so that I can sit further back if I need to. I'm 6'4" so the extra height doesn't affect me, but Melvyn specialises in height reductions as well.
I've had Corbin seats before but at £440 and a 2-4 month wait I decided to try a cheaper and faster alternative. Melvyn charges £135 for the word and £35 for a gel mesh insert (£60 for two if you want gel front and back). So, my new saddle was £195 all-in. He normally takes 5-7 days depending on when you get the seat units to him. The only disadvantage is that he uses your saddle so (a) you're without your bike for a week and (b) you no longer have the original saddle to put back on the bike if you sell.
Melvyn's in Coventry (16 Harborough Road, Holbrooks, Coventry CV6 4FP), just a few minutes from Jct 3 of the M6. I dropped the seats off and picked them up but he does do mail order.
He's got a website at http://www.motorbike-seats.co.uk/
Or phone him on 02476 66 5203 (Mobile: 0780 376 2993)
I've tried to attach three photos but two of them were too big. I'll try compressing and sending in another posting
