Not me. But if you buy one, and wanna get rid of your stock seat, I'll take it. I'm on the hunt for V7 seat pans.

I've been longing for some more seat options other than the stock for a while. Looking at a fee european manufacturers, but they don't seem to come up with anything worth the price yet.

Please do make something for the V7s!

OK.  We'll give it a go but it'll be a while.
I've been working on making blank seat pans for the V7 so I can have some "off the shelf" products for that bike.

What's the verdict vs the stock seat?

Definite improvement over the stock seat.  It positions you a little farther back so the overall seating geometry changes a bit. 

Corbin seats are 'firm' and may put you off in the beginning.  The truth comes out after hour 3 of a ride.  IHMO the Corbin is an all day saddle.
