marriedman 411 Posted October 1, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/...bac8563&vxp=mtr I have wanted a new saddle for my VFR since the day I got it. I was leaning towards a Sargent, but I found this Corbin on ebay at a price I couldn't pass up! There are some faded spots from usage, but nothing serious. Any tips on re-blacking the seat that won't stain my clothes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2thdr 234 Posted October 1, 2012 Your leathers are black aren't they...? Sorry, don't know, but maybe just conditioning it will bring back some of the color... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marriedman 411 Posted October 1, 2012 I don't wear leathers. I actually don't have any riding pants yet. But that isn't for lack of trying. I don't want to buy any off the internet because I like to try them on, I'm a pretty big guy. And the pants that I have found that fit aren't overpants, which is what I really want.

2thdr 234 Posted October 1, 2012 Try Revzilla...what I found there are folks that write reviews of pants, jackets, etc will frequently give their ht, wt, measurements and what size article of gear they purchased with feedback on how it fit them. They will also allow one free exchange on shipping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any tips on re-blacking the seat that won't stain my clothes? That's a great get! You could try a Turtle wax product called Trim Restorer. It's clear liquid that blackens sun fade (car bumpers,mirrors etc.). A little dab.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiki01 4 Posted October 1, 2012 Congrats on the purchase. Would be curious to know how your passenger likes the bigger back rest one you try it out. Am considering a similar one for my seat for two up riding in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 2, 2012 I just had Sargent's redo the Corbin for my forth gen... They do beautiful work. I have a Corbin Gel on my fifth gen... It has held up great over the last twelve years. But I am definately a Sargent's fan moing forward. Their quality and customer service is spot on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am considering a similar one for my seat for two up riding in the future. My passengers are only going to be my daughters, 10 & 7. So I don't know how "educated" their response will be other than feeling safer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
