Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted January 15, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have had both and like the Sargent. Loved the smuggler corbin but the Sargent is lighter, as or more comfortable likely less or the same price as the Corbin. I wouldn't waste my money on a Corbin horse saddle.

I've have both and agree with you. They both fit me great and are a vast improvement over stock. I've been lucky to pick up a couple of used Corbins. On for $25! Still can't believe that one. Another, gunfighter and lady were off an 01 I bought last fall. The seat goes on my daily rider and offers my wife a secure feeling when she is on the back. They are both top quality, and in my case, both comfortable. Probably can't go wrong with.a Sargent if you are buying new. Heard a lot of poor reports on Corbin's service, too. I have never needed them. Rubber side down, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litespeed Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I bought a used VFR 800 that already had a Sargent seat on it. It has been the most comfortable seat that I've ever had, and I've been riding since 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer adeyren Posted May 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have a Sargent and after a mishap with the rear part which i had recovered i got the upholsterer to put gel pads in as well. Even better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer rhoderage Posted May 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 Had a Corbin on my first bike, a Ninja 500R... and now have a Corbin on the '02 VFR. Both seats have been outstanding - every summer I do at least two 13-hr round trips (943km, from Dartmouth NS up around the Cabot trail and back in one shot). Couldn't walk the day after with either of the stock seats, but the Corbin really is all day comfortable. I bought both seats from Canadian sellers on Kijiji - both in the neighborhood of $200. Be patient - its worth a bit of a wait to save $200-300 off MSRP (and factor in the exchange rate, shipping, duty if you're Canadian).
