I'll be keeping an eye on Corbin personally. I've had good luck with their seats in the past and would likely jump on one.

I haven't been a huge fan of the seat so far and would like to replace it at some point. Corbin has a section of their website where you can make product requests. If enough people express interest i'm sure they'll hop right on a design. Corbin Motorcycle Seats & Accessories | Service Center | 800-538-7035

Aside from the firmness of the seat I feel like its pitched forward, I've been finding my "gentleman parts" getting smooshed into the tank at times. I'm sure Im not the only one having this issue?

Seems Corbin has a seat for us N400 riders, finally. Anyone get it yet? Impressions? I hear it changes the ergonomics a bit.

I placed my order last week. Current lead time seems to be about 3 weeks or so not including shipping. I'll be sure to update you guys once I actually get it in hand.

Note on the invoice states that the seats usually require about a 2000 mile break in period, I'm willing to bet I'll notice a substantial difference from day 1.

Just did a 80 mile round trip on the Kawasaki ergo-high seat and my god that was was painful. If an affordable (and UK available) seat doesn't come out soon I might have to let her go. Not spending near half a grand for a seat!

Oh man. They quoted my email in their description.

The stock seat seems more comfy now that I've put a few thousand miles on it.

May have to pony up for the Corbin if positive reviews start coming in.

Got my seat on Monday!

i've only had a chance to put about 50 miles on it but I am super happy with it so far! Its a night and day difference.

On my rides yesterday I experienced none of the "ball crushing" that the stock seat had. Its also wider than the original seat so it feels much more supportive.

2 potential negatives:
Its much heavier. Don't know the exact weight but I'd say its at least twice as heavy as the stock seat, probably a bit more.
Could be a problem for shorter riders. Its a bit wider in the front, I went from flat footing with ease at a stop light to standing on the balls of my feet at 5'10" easily solved by leaning the bike to one side if you need to flat foot it.

Highly recommend!

Have you adjusted the preload any? does your weight compress any travel?
very very sad to read this:surprise: :crying::surprise:

 

[blackninja]

I've got it on the 3rd setting and weigh 205lbs. Yeah it compresses but its pretty firm.

Notice I said balls of my feet, I'm not up on my tippy toes here. I'm 5'10" but I got pretty short legs. Just felt it was worth mentioning.

 

[Watcher905]

Just got it today. No saddle time yet. Chitty phone cam shows the wrong shade of red, lol.



EDIT: Follow-up review with over 10,000 km. 15/MAR/21.

The seat was fully broken in quite early, and it still feels very comfortable. Leagues better than OEM. This seat was built for long rides. You know it's a great seat when you feel no discomfort whatsoever, as if you're sitting on a cloud, a very supportive cloud. The seat has a more horizontal plane as opposed to the slanted forward plane of the OEM. Height is roughly the same. Yea, it's costly, but I knew what to expect, as I owned a Corbin on another bike. Stints over 100 km are a breeze. I highly recommend it, your butt and spine will luv you. 10/10. I went with a leather base, and vinyl side panels.

@blackninja Any updates on how the Corbin is working out now that you've had it for a while?

 

[blackninja]

I've only been able to put about 800 miles on it but I've done a few hundred miles at a time most rides. I'm loving it! It was such a huge upgrade and I'm very happy, I highly recommend.

I want rear sets now to bring my legs up and back a bit and the bike will be perfect (for me.)

Corbin Seat Installed

I will ride today and see if it improved the ride.
I am sure it will.
Had to use the hardware from stock seat and add a washer to facilitate locking seat into locking mechanism.
Photos later.

And that's awesome. Corbin seats are border-line beautiful and really well made. Nice choice.

 

[NinjaNovice]

What textures did you use? It’s hard to tell in their website with the little square patch they use to show each material

Will these seats fit on the 2019 z400's ? I know it doesn't list it on Corbins website but from what I can tell they use the same seat as the ninja 400 from the factory. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, if the OEM part numbers are similar, then it will fit.
