EMTintruder Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It's a Sargent seat which is WAY different from a Corbin seat. my bike came with my corbin, I like the stock better this corbin is way to hard on my butt, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Conedodger Posted January 21, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 21, 2015 It's a Sargent seat which is WAY different from a Corbin seat.my bike came with my corbin, I like the stock better this corbin is way to hard on my butt, That is my picture/seat that you are talking about. I tried a Corbin on my ST1100, for about a week. It was heavy and didn't fit the bike or my anatomy very well. I ended up with a Travelcade Stealth that I absolutely loved! When I moved on to the VFR, I found that I hated the way the stock seat jammed me up against the tank. I like riding close to the tank, but this was too intimate. I immediately thought of the Travelcade, but found they didn't make one for the VFR. I refused to even look at the Corbin based on my past experience and the reviews here. The consensus was that the Sargent was a good choice. I like the Sargent. It is a big improvement over the OEM, but not as good as the Travelcade was on the ST. I did have to modify the cowl to get it to fit right. Was easy to do, but now it won't fit the OEM seat should I chose to go back. Edit: Looks like Travelcade is now Saddleman. They have cover and foam kits for the 6th Gen VFR. Two different materials and a choice of sport or touring foam. http://www.saddlemen.com/honda/vf-vfr-series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlgustav Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Ooh, ooh, I have one of these too ... Sadly, she's sitting in my shed waiting for me to pay attention to the carbs and put her back together ... ACE Jumping on this bandwagon ... At a LSR event ... And heading home ... She's my 'do it all' gal ... ACE LSR being Land Speed Racing, I assume. TM = Texas Mile? How did your runs turn out? Yep, Beeville TX event. My final run (I only got 4 in) was an official 145.4 from standing start thru mile trap ... she was approaching 150 near the 1st brake markers and I let off, could have held out longer & still have braking space, but this was my 1st experience with any LSR type event so I was playing things safe ... of course, any top speed past the mark would not have been 'official', would have been just for me ...
