I have an 04 Roadster which came with what I thought was the stock seat but ended up being the low version. I'm 6'01" with a 34" inseam so you can imagine how uncomfortable I was for awhile. I was able to find a BMW tall seat which is a good height (could be a bit taller for me) but as most know is rather narrow. It's not a good fit for my, ummm, athletic legs. I found a Sargent seat which was quite comfie on the butt but not so on the knees. A taller version by about 2" would be nice I imagine.

I have had Corbin seats on several other bikes purchased used but have yet to see one available here or any comments from anyone. I'm looking for some input from any Corbin seat owners. Input from others with longer inseams and what setup they have employed for their own comfort would be nice as well.

Don't know about Corbins, but are you aware that Sargent does custom seats? They can probably help you with width and height. Check their website.

I am aware of all of the seat makers and their customizing options. But my personal finances do not permit me to spend the $500+ dollars for a custom made at this time.

I have a Corbin seat on each of my bikes and find them fine for long rides. They are firm compared to sargent or russel seats. I am used to riding on seats that are not padded at all and that suits me fine, but a lot of people can't stand the Corbin. Find one used and try it out as we all have different preferences.
