    I have now taken two 200 mile trips and my A** is hurting on this stock seat. It is now time to order a new seat, and I am leaning towards a Corbin with the backrest but am left very confused by the ordering process.
    The seat on the Corbin website looks good and I would like to know if anybody has ordered one and what materials you got?
    Also I would really like the piping to match the bike instead of black/ red but I don't know what color to order.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cuttingedge, I had a Corbin on my Shadow, and it was a great seat. I could do 12 plus hour days no problem, and now I have Sargent on my VFR, and it is great seat, too. I've done several 500 mile days, and setting off this morning on another multiday ride. A guy at work has a Rick Mayer seat for his BMW, and he loves it. It looks well constructed. Apparently Rick Mayer builds his seats using the stock pan. I was defintiely impressed with what I saw, and the price was good, if I recall correctly. Some people have had problems with Corbin's service, but it is not universal. However, I think if I were going to do anything custom, I would have Rick Mayer do it. Off the shelf, I would go with Sargent or Corbin.
