I purchased this Corbin last week, it is a very comfortable seat except for my knees. It lowers my body so my knees start hurting within 30 or so minutes. Similar to when I had an FJR, great bike but too cramped. Anyway, my loss is your gain. Spent almost $500, will sell for $350 plus shipping from Mass or New Hampshire. In the process of moving so back and forth. Again, I used it for a total of about 60 minutes and just too cramped! As with any Corbin for our bikes, you will need to reuse the locking piece and attach it to the Corbin. 2 minute job.

So, do you think you're sitting lower on the Corbin than the OEM? I'm curious, because I picked up an almost new Touratech recently from another member on here that rides beautifully; but, it's a bit scary at rest because I'm on tiptoes due to either the height or width (or both) of the Corbin. I run a 30" inseam. If the Corbin sits lower, I may need to look into one. I wish I could stay with the Touratech as it's a really nice and comfortable saddle, but it's not mentally comfortable on anything but clean, dry pavement.

Yes, you are sitting lower than OEM. I can flat foot, thus causing the issue with my knees. Very comfortable, just not for the knees. Width is not an issue, it's not like a RDL regarding the width.

I'm to pick up my 2019 at end of month. If it feels too tall, I'll reach out to see if you still have it. GLWS in the meantime.

I don't know if it would be the answer for either of us, but would you want to think about a swap? Quality and cost wise they are very similar, so roughly equivalent value. My Touratech doesn't even look used, although I was told it's about a year old.

Just thought I'd throw that out here before posting mine for sale.
