Get a stock seat, any condition and have it custom shaped for you. You'll end up with something that really works. All the off the self seats, no matter who makes them are just that, off the shelf.If you have a unique physical requirement, generic seats are pretty much a waste of your money. You're better off dumping 10 pounds of play-dough on your seat and planting your ass on that.If you are going to spend hundreds of dollars on a custom name and don't get the custom seat how does that work?
I respectfully disagree about the corbin being a waste of $. For one, they will tailor the seat to your specs if you ask , I requested mine be 1/2 inch higher than stock and firm with silver stitching and two tone color scheme . It has been terrific. They are good people to deal with as well. The quality of there work speaks for it's self. I'm not saying there aren't other options, just that I am very happy with both of mine. I also have one on a griso.
any chance you can post some pics of both seats on the bikes?
You don't mention WHICH Cali 1400 model you have.
The Buttsore model Before spending hundreds of bucks , try an airhawk . Dusty
Used to buy Corbin's (didn't know better).Then I discovered the Iron Butt riders were using Russell.First Mod on the Norge was a Russell. No more Corbin's........
When I sit on a Russel seat, it feels like I'm sitting on someone's lap.
Sort of like a lap dance in reverse, or ?? I have to say, I was really happy with the Corbin I had on the BMW for a couple years and now 4 years of Corbin on the Norge with great success too. It does sound like there are better options out there, curious about the price points to compare like to like. Iron Butters definitely need the best in the business, I don't think I could do 1000 miles on the Corbin, but 600-700 is very easily done and comfortably. In that case, I think it's probably me giving out sooner than the seat. Curious to sit on a Russell or other option one day...anyone have a spare Russell Day long lying about that fits a Norge?
Couple things to remember. Gel just under the seating surface=bad. Gets way to hot or cold. Memory foam and such, with the exception of only one kind not readily available, is also a poor choice. Too much compression and holds heat.We've done tons of research into gels and found a specific product we use directly on the seat pan and then build up over it. This material is an engineered product that acts like a shock-it will deform and recover, which is WAY different that a simple get (fake human fat) pad that does next to nothing.ALL that said, hip tilt and several other factors come into play, which at least in part explains why some products work for one and not another.Seats and screens, my friends. VERY personal.
