The seat for our shop bike is ordered and is being built now, but I haven't received it yet. But it sure looks nice. As soon as I get it in, I'll report on the fit and ride height changes and post some additional images. See it on our web site here See it on the Corbin web site here: http://www.corbin.com/buell/ulysses/xb12xu.shtml Al | ||

Looks good to me | ||

Anybody know if you can open the top case with the triple tail up? | ||

Very nice seat! Corbin always does a good job. I have had a couple Corbin seats and enjoyed them every mile I rode. | ||

When is the factory low seat going to be available and how much will it cost? When both seats can be compared I'd like to know which one is more comfortable for long days in the saddle. | ||

Yes you can open the top case with the tail up but only about half open. It's not a problem unless the contents are big like a full helmet. You can push it open more as the top 1/3 of the tail is flexible rubber and will flex enough to open the top box a bit more but I find I usually don't need to. BC Steve | ||

We actually snuck in last Friday and got three seats done. I had mine done in black and had it made on the original "Buell" seat pan. The bare "Corbin" pan sets approx. 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than having it made on the molded plastic "Buell" pan. The other one was in black & orange using the orange material from the stock seat and the "Buell" pan. The third was for our demo "Uly" and since we didn't have the bike , we had it made on the "Corbin" pan in black. The H-D District Service Rep (orange seat) was with me and we both have a 29 inch inseam and believed that the Corbin pan still needs to be lower or narrower. The Good News is that I took my wife with me two-up Sunday and I can control the bike. For those vertically challenged I suggest a ride in, or send in your stock seat so they can use the pan. | ||

Thanks, Terry. Good info. for sure. I'm going to wait and see the Buell Low so I can compare it to the Corbin low before I decide. I'm doing fine with the Uly as is, but would like to be lower for off-pavement riding. Regards, Jim in Santa Barbara | ||

Javadog makes a good point. Although I'm getting use to the stock seat, and would like a lower seat for 2-up riding, I still want all day comfort. I spent ~ 5hrs in the saddle on 4 Oct covering ~ 256 miles and was never uncomfortable on the stock seat. I'd like to hear reports on the Buell low and the Corbin seat before deciding. Cheers | ||

Well, I got impatient and ordered a saddle from Corbin. I asked for it to be made extra low and narrow in the front. Although I wear 32 inch inseam jeans, when sitting relaxed on the stock seat and not stretching for the ground I still lack a good 2 inches of leg length on both sides. I will borrow a camera and post a picture of the Corbin alongside the stock one when it comes in the mail around November 8th. Next will be the extra tall windshield from Cee Bailey's and the extra loud muffler from Drummer, then some extra bright lights....jeez this bike is becoming a bottomless pit for money!! | ||

Corbin asked if I wanted mine lowered. I told them no. I've grown used to the height, it doesn't really bother me, even with my puny 30" inseam. What I would miss is the ability to scootch forward in the seat for sportier riding. I've noticed that the bike is two different bikes, the highway bike where you are back in the cup, and the sport bike where you move forward and get the front weight bias up. Helps with the front end dive, helps with the turn in, and you forget how much motorcycle is back behind you, kinda like a big lightning. If the seat gets low and looks nice, the slope in the front would probably cost about 1" of forward movement. The Corbin seat is already a bit lower, and that will be fine with me since I'm already pretty comfortable with the stocker. Al |
