Corbin Canyon Dual Sport Saddle

[Grumpy Goat]

I think this was the only aftermarket seat for the RS that offered a heater option. So frustrating that heated seats are available on the GS & RT but not the RS. Feels like deliberate handicapping, because I absolutely would want that option if available.

When the author of the article said "The setup I chose ran $618." and later on he mentioned "If, as I did, you order the heated seat (a $203 option) ...", I assumed that the $618 included the heated option and got excited. This is not the case. From the Corbin webpage for this seat, Order tab, you can see that the heated option is on top of the $618 for the seat, i.e. it is $821. Misleading writing. Sargent is another popular manufacturer and their 2-piece unheated seat is $770 - better to get the Corbin and get heated.

The seat looks OK I guess, although the white stitching and piping in the article is fugly to my taste, especially on a black bike. But to each his own.

If I were to change my seat on either bike I would want a heated seat, although that is more for "show" than anything given where I live. The shape of the seat would have to suite my Cool Covers seat cover which, in my climate, is more functionally appropriate. The dished shape of the Corbin means that there would be an air gap which could possibly become slack over time.
