Excellent video Gus: the comparison segments going back and forth showing each seat, your position, etc.- fantastic! I wish more comparison videos used that technique. Some try to, but only do it once. When you gave us the opportunity to see them over and over, I had the chance to look at different things to compare. The skills you've utilised as a videographer throughout the videos you've produced have helped me more than once. Thanks for all you're doing!

Great Job Gus! Thanks for the info. Before I picked up my bike I had a local guy add 2" of padding as my hip flexors could not deal with the stock seat position. I have since added the T-Rex forward controls and after some time realized they still "splayed" me out and it was causing problems. Dropped a boatload of cash and got the DePretto controls and this helped quite a bit. Added a new smaller air hawk, but found it didn't help much. Pulled the trigger and got the mustang seat and it was like I was back on the stock seat, I couldn't hardly get my feet up on the pegs. Added my original large air hawk and stuck the new smaller one inside to get more "elevation". This worked for me. But....two pads on a $380 seat really seemed like a waste of money. I just returned the Mustang seat. Over the winter, I will learn a new skill. "How to modify/rebuild a motorcycle seat". If that doesn't work well, then I guess I will once again throw a boatload of money at a Corbin seat. Thanks for the great video!

Hi Jon! I feel your pain brother! You will find that adding more correctly shaped cushion to elevate you, will make a significant difference in comfort. I love the rebel too much to give up on it, hence why I invested so much time and money to get it to fit me.

Great review of the seats! Thank you for taking the time! I took your advice and went with the corbin front and the mustang rear seat which as you said tremendously improved comfort! The only thing I miss are the helmet hooks that were on the bottom of the stock seat--apparently, I'm the only one on the Internet that used them, since no else finds that to be a problem. And I haven't found a fix that doesn't involve adding more keys to my keychain.

As always, excellent instructions. I never get actual pain, but my butt does need to be shifted off to one side every 15-20 minutes after the first hour or so of riding, then every 5-10 minutes. I used a stock forward seat, but I'm only 5'4". Also, I think that wider pillion seat is a good idea. My wife does not like the stock passenger seat, but a high rise sissy bar allows her to lean back a bit and made a huge difference. Again, thanks for the good work.

As a cyclist and biker myself, I understand the importance of choosing a comfortable saddle. It is essential for cyclists, especially those who ride for extended periods or participate in races, to find a saddle that suits their needs at very early stage. I agree with all the points you mentioned in your video. Additionally, it's worth noting that women tend to have wider sit bones compared to men. Therefore, what may be comfortable for women may not be the same for men. As a man, it is crucial to consider a saddle that not only supports your buttocks but also has a slimmer or tapered downward nose. This design helps reduce pressure on your inner thighs, preventing the blockage of blood flow and discomfort during longer rides. This is particularly true for shorter riders when your legs are tightly hugging the saddle, the numbness on your inner thighs will quickly build up due to the reduced blood flow. Therefore, it is essential to find a saddle that takes these factors into account for a more enjoyable riding experience. Have a comfy ride!!

Not long after purchasing the rebel (about the time this video came out) I watched and my brain said, "hmmm that's interesting". As a new rider, with the rebel being my first bike, I had no idea what was normal or comfortable or just me adjusting to riding a motorcycle. The factory seat did feel a bit off so I purchased the forward rider seat and I love the way it sort of locked me into the bike but I was still squirming after an hour of riding. Last week, having forgotten this fine video existed and with another weekend of moto-camping ahead, I purchased the air hawk. I feel a bit silly now that I've watched again because, yes, for the first day I did feel a bit like an air hockey puck slipping around. I got used to the slipping sensation but still not much relief. Well this has been a very long winded comment to say, my brain really enjoys your videos but it was my boney ass that brought me back here to re-watch and say thanks for the detailed review... I have a Corbin on order.

I’ve owned the Rebel 500 and now 1100, the Corbin is by far the best seat I’ve used. My commute to work is about an hour and when I go for a ride I’m usually on the road for 4-5 hours minimum. It just supports me far better than the mustang ever did. I also love how customizable the Corbin is. You can choose from many different finishes to different kinds of leather. Definitely a worth while investment.

It is hard foam but because of the additional support, no discomfort or pain is felt, it totally surprised me as I was rooting for the mustang to be completely honest. When ordering, Corbin will customize the foam and shape to your requirements, they gave me additional tail bone relief based on my request. I also know they put softer foam for some of the female riders. Let me know if you have any questions Lari 👍

Este video lo he visto decenas de veces, es una excelente comparativa, de verdad muy buena. Finalmente creo que no te hacían falta las 4'' del extensor de manillar si hubieras puesto otro asiento. Pero al ser el Corbin el más cómodo y al alejarte a la vez del manillar las necesitas. Posiblemente con un Mustang con 3'' hubieran sido suficientes. Como dices en otros videos (creo entender, ya que no hablo inglés, que pena) el Corvin es muy feo, pero con las alforjas (maletas) se disimula muy bien. La comparativa, como digo, es Bàrbara. El final está también muy bien: a pesar de que estas motos no están concebidas para ir en compañía muchos kilómetros, es muy interesante saber que existe el mustang para el pasajero que ayudará a que su viaje sea más agradable.

I have the Corbin Dual Tour and I had the luxury of riding into the Corbin factory and having it custom-fit. It's very comfortable! But I kind of agree with you about the looks. And it bolts to the rear fender, so you lose the ability to easily remove the seat. ...and if you don't add some padding under the metal bits, it will scuff your paint! I'm working on addressing the cosmetics with a sort of cap that covers the passenger seat and makes it look like a "gunfighter" style seat. Additionally, I hope to change out the bolt in the back to make it easier to remove. We'll see how that goes. I think Honda really messed up with the stock seat. Maybe it was fine for the smaller Rebels, but the acceleration on 1100 just drove my tailbone directly into the big metal bar at the back and gave a feeling of slipping off. Of course, I'm 6'0" and 280lbs, so maybe it just wasn't made for my size.

I had the same leak, too. Luckily, the dealership covered it. But they said it was a stator plug and it was close to $350. Of course the warranty covered it. I only bought the warranty because it's a DCT system. Not many bike shops know how to work on these. These mofos will rip you off if you don't have a warranty. The other thing is I've done everything to address the high speed front end wobble costing me 2k from the dealership and it's still doing the same thing.

Hi there. Watched LifeOfBurch video on his Corbin seat and the damage it does to paint which will lead to rust & the cost of the seat by its self. The one thing that stood out was was how lousy the customer service was with Corbin. Not sure if I want to give up a little discomfort for the head ache that will follow. Was wanting your thoughts on that. Thanks for your videos on diy. Saved me a lot $$.

Has anyone else had the same experience with the Corbin seat scratching their paint? I'd like to get the Corbin, but if it's going to scratch the paint, I'm going with the Mustang. Thanks for any input that can help me make this decision.

Amazing review. I'm leaning toward Corbin but I don't have risers on my bike (I have the 2" in garage but haven't got up the nerve to put them on with some complications I've seen online) and I'm 5'9 so I'm worried the Corbin will push me too far back.
@ontherebel11 Жыл бұрын
Thank you Kris! The Corbin will push you back a little, but depending on how long each ride is, you might not feel a big difference. Ask yourself how long you intend on keeping the rebel, if you plan on keeping it for a few years, it is in your interest to get the Corbin, as it will set you up to be the most comfortable when you decide to add the risers in the future. Remember, the ultimate comfort is when your back is perfectly vertical in addition to the right seat. It's a tough pill to swallow, but well worth it if you ride for extended periods of time frequently. 🤙

Thanks for the awesome comparison video...very instructive. I have been using the forward seat for everyday riding and the stock seat + air cushion pad (bought on Amazon) for interstate rides. After multi-500+ mile rides, the air cushion add-on is fairly good for comfort as it has ties that hold it to the seat. So may be an option for riders who want to limit the budget. I thought I was good with my seat setup but after seeing your video I'm definitely tempted with the mustang seat as I like the styling. Does the mustang seat put you forward as much as the OEM forward seat?
