Would like to buy a Corbin seat for my Uly. Please, no low seats. I'm 6'2" with a 33 inch inseam.

I have a Corbin but it is low. I have same inseam as you and really like the Buell tall seat. Corbin makes a tall?

The Corbin is naturally low. They will make one with thicker foam, but recommend against it. I asked all these questions when I ordered mine, and that was the response I got. Well actually this is the response I got.

quote:

We don't recommend it, because the seating area is longer that the stock seat and he can sit back further, giving him that extra leg room he thinks he's losing.
But if he does insist on it, we won't upcharge for it, we will do it, but he needs to understand that it's going to take him further away from the center of gravity and he's not going to like it as much -- esp if he slides forward into the tank at any point, since there's less padded slope left on the nose.



I went with the unmolested design, and am pleased. The Uly in general does cause me some knee pains because of the location of the heel guards force me to sit a little pigeon toed when the balls of my feet are on the pegs.

Side note: I'm pleased with the way it sits, but the fit is less than stellar.
