By far the best seat review for this bike on KZfaq.... PERIOD. Thanks for the incredibly useful info.

Anyone who says "comfort of the ass" in a motorcycle seat review is 100% genuine and can be trusted beyond all other reviews. Thanks again for a great & straight forward video of exactly what we all want to know.

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!

Good job , sir! The best seat review I have ever watched. 5:56 is an example how detail the review is.

THANK YOU!! Best review I've been able to find!

Lovely analysis. Really enjoyed the shifting photos showing the choices and how they changed seating positions. Well done and thank you for sharing.

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!

Thanks for your comparative video on seats. Very helpful, especially the height, arm and leg info.👏👏👏

Thank you for a very informative and well made video

The best review of seats, hands down! Fantastic detail. Great job!

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.

Thanks for this video. I got the mustang passenger seat, bit pricey but well worth it. Happy wife, happy life. Keep it up.

Great review, you covered exactly what I wanted to know. Being 6’1” I‘ll get the Corbin for my Rebel. Thank you.

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.

I'm looking at picking one of these up in December from the dealership and your videos are perfect! You are the exact same size as me and have videos about all the same mods I was interested in so that makes my life much easier when it comes time to purchase and install them! Not to mention how high quality and easy to follow all your videos are. Seriously much appreciated!

Excellent tutorial Gus. Thank you for all the effort you put in to show us your great bike with different setups. I always learn something from watching your videos. (You look a little different than I expected... ) 😋 Peace and safe riding.

I'm always so blown away by all the amazing content you've uploaded and your infectious passion for this bike and this one really knocks it out of the park! When many will make recommendations on the one thing they bought that's better than stock, you actually have an explored and informed opinion that makes for a real review and recommendations... on many levels. That's extremely helpful. Thanks again, my friend! Now I'm getting stuck on deciding which colors for the Corbin since it will most likely be her forever seat. Yeah... I kind of have commitment issues...

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!!

I've watched this video a few times, while trying to figure out which seat I want to end up with. I think I'll end up with the Mustang Seat for myself. Thank you again for your wonderful channel. Also, if you still have that Mustang and wanna part with it, I know a guy buying one...!!

Love your videos!! I installed my footpegs this afternoon using your video!!

Thanks for the video!!! I also ended up going with a Corbin. I knew this video was coming but I decided the best must be the best for a reason and placed the order. The stock seat was so terrible, if this seat didn't fix my discomfort, > I was going to sell the bike

alot of work amd detail went into making this awesome video

I want a goldwing so I'm leaning more towards the mustang. Great vid

thank you very much for this valuable comparison you did, you spent money, time and effort doing them for others to benefit from your experience,appreciate that. good luck my friend 🇸🇦

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.

This is the best comparison video for motorcycle seats. Great job, by the way. Lovely middle eastern accent😉

Fantastic overview and a lot of info Gus on seat selection. I myself is still debating on what to get. I just had a conversation with my brother-in-law Today on the CORBIN SEAT . Cheers and thanks always for putting out such informative videos. You Rock !

WOW !!!, Thank you so much for investing so much into this comparison video. Amazing !. You saved me so much time and money. KUDOS brother !.

Great review Gustavo. I have the Mustang seat and can only compare it to the stock seat. The Mustang is a huge improvement in terms of comfort and ergonomics. Was considering the Corbin but at the time of purchase it was way more expensive and there was at least a two month waiting time. This video should be beneficial to anyone trying to decide which seat may be the best choice for their own personal comfort. 👍😎

I found the Mustang seat s to be the best value and comfort on my bikes. Thanks for the review.

Very comprehensive review, and easy to watch. Thank you. 👍👍

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.

Дякую вам за детальне пояснення та огляд! Це дуже крисна інформація.

I'm glad you found the best seat for you. Seeing what Burch and the Patreon member went through with Corbin I personally will not be even considering them. Do what is best for you right? My fiancé and I agree on one thing though, we're replacing that stock seat ASAP because literally everyone says they are hot garbage. Keep on putting miles on that badass bike, have fun and as always be safe.

Wow, you're really killing it! GREAT review. Must have cost a fortune buying them all. At least installing them was no pain in the a** and so is riding with the corbin. I wonder wether the cup shape comes with a rather stiff foam and how much braking in will change that.

Great detailed review. Really helpful! Thank you for putting it together

I am 5’4’ and this is very useful! Ty!

Great video! I love my Corbin dual tour. Comfort all day long 🏍👍🏻

Top of the line review 👌 great job youve helped me choose the right seat

I agree I also do not like the 2 up Corbin. I love the brown leather….I have a 2022 and eventually I will change my seat. Keep it up 👍

Yes, you do excellent video reviews! I will seriously consider a Corbin now for my 1100t. They're pricey, but I'm thinking it's worth it.

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. Gracias de nuevo por tus videos!

great video as always, Gus!

u might be the greatest honda rebel seat reviewer of all time

I really like your videos. You are very thorough. I will be getting the rebel 500 in 2 months and doing post ownership research and you have been very helpful so far. Thanks!

Great video, I have the Mustang solo and the passenger seat with 2" risers.

So thorough. Thanks so much

great vid and so far i find the extra thick oem seat with 25 mm extra padding not so bad but i havent done any very long distance rides yet,thinking about getting a gel pad for longer trips.

Great video! I bought the Corbin dual because I wanted to use my Corbin adjustable backrest . The Corbin solo can not use the Corbin backrest. That said I am ordering the Solo Corbin as well just so I can change up the look of the 1100T

mustang seat is great but you are lucky yours is easy to put on… they must have improved it… corbin looks best (on all bikes) amazingly detailed review - you are the new dave moss of seats!!! good job G!

Great overview and some useful insight. I just came across your channel and I'm happy to support you and other fellow motovloggers. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you. Ride safe, out there my great friend ...

I dont even have this bike, and i love this video. think i may be getting a corbin

Excellent presentation & thank you very much.

great review really helped with all the comparison, I want my but to be he happy when I ride.

Great video. Corbin looks best to me

Great job brother 👍

thank you for reviewing the mustang passenger seat. ive been trying to find a good seat for my passengers for the somewhat longer rides. all my passengers come with different butt shapes so half dont like that stock passenger seat lol the wider mustang one looks great and looks like it feels comfortable

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.

Great job, Thanks!

This video has been very useful. Not much videos consider th3e POV of the passenger. Also I have seen there is a trend to makes these new bikes Solo rider. But I ride always with a passenger. and We are small, we do not need like a 1700CC bike, but there is not much options in the middleweight cruisers for comfortable seats for passengers. BTW i ride a Vulcan 900 Custom. But I want to upgrade and the Rebel 1100 could be a good option, using the Mustang passenger seat> thanks!

Great video and details.

Super review!!!!

Excelente video. Thanks.

Thank you very much.

Finally got my rebel in. At 6ft, I’m planning on adding a set of forward controls and a Corbin seat in the near future.

Thank you so much for this video! I've heard that the Corbin wasn't easy to install/take off quickly, but your video showed that it's just like the OEM seat? As a 5'11" rider I'm now seriously considering the Corbin again!

Thank you! ❤🤙🏻

great video thank you

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. They say their is nothing wrong with the bike and it's not a manufacturering issue. I am turned off and it may be the last time I buy another Honda.

Just the video I needed. I’ve been debating a Corbin for awhile but I’ve seen some conflicting info about whether it moves you forward or back. Think I’m ready to pull the trigger now.

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 $$.

It's weird with that stock seat. I am tall at 6'4", 194 cm, and 95 kg. I ride for 10-12 hours on the stock seat without discomfort. On the 500, I had the seat upholstered and a gel pack added, but I was honestly fine on that one too :)

thank you for the effort you put into making this detailed video. Keep making it. I wanna confirm something. Does rebel 500 also has the passenger seat? Or do we have to install it by ourselves? The passenger footpeg is there from the beginning or do we have to buy and install?

In the LifeofBurch video, he tried out the Corbin seat on his Rebel and noted that the Corbin seat scratched the paint on his Rebel. 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.

Great and very informative review. Which model of Mustang passenger seat was presented in the clip? I want to keep my wife happy 😊

Thanks!

I just can,'t buy your discomfort with the stock seat after 20 minutes claim, it seems a bit ridiculous considering I ride my 300 with the stock seat for about an hour or two before discomfort sets in and I'm a big guy standing at 6'1" around 240 lbs but thank you for the review, I'll be picking up a Corbin or Mustang regardless.

Thanks! The only thing missing from perfection is that you and your passenger haven't tried the dual Corbin saddle, it would be interesting to know what the passenger thinks of the comfort regardless of not liking the saddle. 🙂 Because I'm about to buy a dual Corbin saddle, even with electric heating :-D But you're right that your combination probably looks better.

Another helpful video! Are those OEM passenger foot pegs/brackets?

Gracias por la comparación 😊

Where can I order a Mustang seat? Love all your reviews! I bought a rebel 1100 a year ago and your videos have been awesome with the maintenance of my motorcycle. Thanks Gus!

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.

Such a happy ass! For me being shorter, I have the movement you don't have in the Mustang so for me the Mustang, while I only sat on the Corbin, I have been really happy with the way the Mustang broke in. My ass iss happy in the Mustang.

I got the Corbin Saddleman, but if you want a passenger that won't work.

Mustang Solo does fine for my style riding ..

I just took my longest ride yet, about 8 hours. With my upgraded seat I had some discomfort but never pain. I wonder: how long of a trip have you done in one stretch with that Corbin? Because if you have no discomfort at all, the price seems worth it.

Awesome video! +1 for the algorithm

I like how matter of fact this review is, however I wish you had shown the Corbin passenger seat as well. I guess you probably didn't buy it, though, if you though it was hideous.

I’m 6 feet tall I might get the Corbin and have bar risers

Looking to purchase a Corbin or mustang, Ty!

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?

Maybe I missed it somewhere in the video, but I didn't see any discomfort time for the Corbin seat?

I just went to an upholstery guy, and he suggested mounting 1" of medium density foam on top of the existing foam. Do you have any experience with that, instead of putting relief channels in the existing foam?

Did I miss it or did you not put up the discomfort and pain times for the Corbin?

What seat treated your tailbone the best. For me I’m only doing short rides (1-2 hours/150-200 miles) after I ride now (OE seat) my tailbone hurts something horrible. Maybe I need to look at the mustang seat.

Do you have a sense of measurement for how much the seats raised you over the stock seat? I'm mainly interested in that for the Corbin and mustang. Edit: just saw that you said the Corbin would raise 1/4 inch to .5 inch. Do you know about the mustang? Sorry if I missed it in the video.

I need handlebar risers too. What are those risers you use? Also, what maximum pull forward is possible on 1100 without changing cables? Thanks.

Hello thank you for all your wonderful videos. I fell in love with that Corbin seat and went as far as to go to Corbin site to order one. However the part number you show "H-REB-11-21-S is there but the stitching is linear and not criss cross diamond looking like yours. Am I missing something on the "design it" tool on their website? Any tips?

Does anyone know if the mustang will fit a 2023 rebel 500?

Had you ever looked into a different passenger backrest since you are using the mustang passenger seat?
