Has anyone been able to compare the Buell Low seat for the Ulysses with the Corbin seat? The Buell low seat is still a good inch too tall for me.
Thanks

I haven't tried the Buell low seat yet, but if you will go here, you can see a pretty good comparison of the stock versus the Corbin seats regarding seat height.

Scroll down the page a bit for the Corbin seat photos and discussion.

If the Buell low seat is too high, the Corbin is certainly not the answer... It's a great seat and looks super, but it's not a whole lot lower than the stock one as it relates to flatfooting the bike at stop lights. Your butt is lower when riding and you'll have a little more bend in your knees, but since it feels a little wider at eh seat base, it's not going to make the reach to the ground a whole lot easier than the stocker.

Just my 2 cents...

My Corbin is 1/2 inch lower that the Buell ULY low. I had it made using my Buell plastic pan and not their Corbin pan. The stock pan is molded around the frame the Corbin pan sets on top of it. I have had custom Corbin's made for my Blast, S3-T and now my ULY. I am only 5' 8" so I had the bucket moved almost 2 inches forward also. ... Terry
