Thank you Adam! 🙏 I'm glad you found it helpful brother. Truth be told, my heart wanted the mustang to win, and I thought it would hands down, but that wasn't the case for me personally.... Maybe it is the total seat time per day...

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!!

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.

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!

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’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.

Hi Jay, thank you for sharing your experience, this will help others make the best decision for their needs. 🤙

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.

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.

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.

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. 🤙

De nada Rosemary 👍

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience Richard, this will be very helpful to others! I forgot to mention that the dual will make you lose the ease of accessing the storage..... Thank you for pointing that out. 🙏

Thanks for the review! I have tried the OEM, reupholstered OEM, and finally the Corbin solo seat. at 5'10" The Corbin has been the best. I am however still struggling with riding over 200 miles a day at interstate speeds 80 - 85mph. I have the OEM batwing fairing, but pretty much everything else is stock. I plan on making a long trip next year and hopefully doing it in 2 - 500 mile days. I'm looking into 3 inch bar risers and forward controls to help, but I'm worried about wind still being an issue. Do you have any problems with the OEM fairing/wind after installing your bar risers?

Hi Nostrebor03, I'm happy to hear that we came to the same conclusion! I have the batwing with 4 inch risers without any issues at all! Regarding long distance, I ended up making my own screen to fit the batwing, I took it on a 1,500 mile trip in May, 560 miles on day one and another 560 miles on day on the interstate at speeds over 85mph, it's amazing how much of a difference a taller screen makes! Here's a video to give you an idea if you can't find a screen to fit. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKCEzc2Jnru7qbA.html

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.

Another great video of yours I happen to come across. Impressive work as usual!! Short question about the Corbin seat. It has a nice diamond stitching in your video, but I could not find such a model on their website, nor it was possible to choose this stitching using their online seat configurator. The only single seat model available is the classic solo seat and it looks different. Any ideas? Did you order a custom design seat or am I missing something? Have a great day!

By the way Gustafsson just confirmed they would be glad to make a custom height windshield. Great news. Now I'm also considering Corbin solo seat, but its moving the rider backwards feature really frustrates me. I'm reaching for the handlebars even with the original seat despite being 6 feet tall / regular arms lenght (about 22.5 inches armpit to wrist). Hate the idea of having to lean forward even more with Corbin. Getting handlebar risers with the offset, but pretty moderate numbers (30mm rise, 20mm offset), not sure this would be enough to compensate... meh :(

@@ontherebel11 Indeed they can do it. Do you think the main features of their seat, that make it more comfortable than the competition, would be the added width/height? I mean if it won't move you backwards you would basically still get the benefits, but at the same time have easier reach for the handlebars, would you?

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.

I don't have personal experience with the other Corbin seats, but have read that the dual or gunfighter provide even more room. Keep in mind that you can reach out to Corbin and the will customize your seat for you, that's what I did to request relief for the tailbone. Corbin is the way to go for your height, in addition to risers and forward controls.

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.

Hi Kent! Great question brother! I suffered a great deal with tailbone pain.... The corbin with Tailbone relief has worked the best for me out of everything i have experimented with. Sadly the mustang caused similar tailbone pain as the oem seat did, but the onset of pain was delayed compared to the oem seat. It might be different for you though as each body is unique.

I purchased a Rebel 1100t in January and your videos have been my go to. Great info. I do have a question. I am short so based on your comments, I purchased the Mustang seat and it fits me great, but at the end of a couple hundred mile ride, I am in a lot of pain. So I just put in my order for a Corbin seat. My question is, does the Mustang passanger seat fit with the Corvid riders seat? Thanks for all the great videos.

Hi Paul! I honestly haven't because I love the look of the Honda backrest. 👍

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.
