Corbin Seat

I just got my Corbin seat in after 4 weeks of waiting for it. WOW  can i say what a different from the stock brick. Plus the look of it. (carbon fiber and red piping) I got the whole package too. Front, rear and backrest for the wife. She loves her seat too on my 2002 F4I. It set me back $703.00 bucks. But it makes riding the bike so much better. I did have a little problem with the reat seat. Getting it to lock in place. I couldn''t get to lock as it came.  I did call them and talked to service tech. Which they told me to hit on the seat to get to lock. I did many time and no luck. So I asked if I could just take a round file to the rubber bumper and just take a little off. They said go ahead. I only did a little at time. till with hitting on the seat I got it to lock in.

I was thinking of the same seat for my F4 (well, kinda the same) but 703 bucks, why so much? I email corbin Canada and they replied with:

Pricing for part number CBR6-99-GL is $339.00 and can be built using any of the colours and materials that Corbin offers.

There would be a $129.00** freight charge and it usually takes about thirty days to get the item to you.

The subtotal price would be $468.00 and the total price including GST would be $491.40.

And thats the one with the removable rear seat rest too.

Eaither way, congrats on the seat, I''m one jealous bastard.

Is that price with the removable backrest? I orderd right from Cordin, so no middle man. Anyways well worth it.  Front saddle (HF4I-F) $259.00 Rear saddle (HF4I-R) $189.00
Oval backrest (02-SB) $229.00  and for shipping was $26.00

I don''t know how you guys can spend so much money on just the seat. It just doesn''t seem logical to me, but then again I have yet to sit on a corbin seat. If I had $700 to spend, it sure wouldn''t be on the seat. The stock seat doesn''t really bother me anyways. Well, I''m glad you''re happy with your purchase, jet.

Stright from http://www.bikerider.ca/ Which is Corbin Canada.
I had to go to Corbin USA website, grab the model number, then e-mail Corbin CAN with said model number.

http://www.corbin.com/honda/99cbrf4_gnl.shtml is the model number I got the e-mail about, I know its the Banana seat, but I can''t believe there is such a price difference.

for an 05 and the bannana seat...the entire set is 1K ...why would I spend 1k on a seat for a 5K bike?

lol wow 700 bucks for a seat, i could''ve built a motogp qualifying f4i  j/p, i guess if you have the money why not right?

Well the money was hard to come by. But with gas price the way they are, and not getting better I''m sure with hurricane season coming. I plan to be putting the miles on the F4I. So I decided to stick the money (or my rebate check into it) Doing my end to get the economy going. I went for the big costed upgrade first, so the power commarder and angle eyes are up next on the list of goodies.

How comfortable is the back seat for the wife, I am thinking i will either do the bananna seat conversion or buy the corbin seat for the back. I have a 02 F4i....

got any pics. and what year is your bike.

Sure give me a day or two and I will send you some pic. My wife has found a new love for the bike now. Before she hated being on it cuz the seat wasn''t very great to sit on for any ride more than three miles before. Now she asking to take the bike. Now that says it all, what a difference.

Oh yeah its a 2002 (red and black)

Its the one in the picture LOL oh yeah I have to get one without the girl on it LOL.

+1, I would never spend that kind of cash on a seat, no matter how comfortable it is. I''ll just let my ass take the beating haha

damn man. i would never spend that kind of money on seats. im not feeling the look. the back seat is way to big. but if you like it thats cool man.
