I really like the 09 Corbin, it's sturdy, very firm, and wide enough. I wear bicycling shorts under my motorcycle pants, and it's perfect. Then again, you must know I can sit on a bicycle seat for 110 miles during an Ironman, so, I may be a bit more "seasoned" than some of you cushiony-seat riders.

I have a heated corbin for my BMW R1100RT. I don't use it until it gets really cold out because the stock is much more comfortable, so I will NOT spend four hundred bucks on another corbin seat.

The second thing I noticed after installing the corbin on my bmw is I felt more bumps and all the little bumps in the road. The first thing I noticed is its many times heavier than the stock seat.

Perhaps some one will tell us about the Sargent.

I ride my KLX a lot, so I need to do something.

I got mine for 282.00, including tax. (I get a good discount from a local shop.)

#
1

Purchase a seat cover that has been pre-cut to fit your specific motorcycle model. There are many websites that sell these and typically you have the option of choosing many different colors. If you do not want to shop on the web you could check in your area for upholstery shops or cycle shops to see if they provide a similar product.
#
2

Take your motor cycle seat and turn it upside down. You should be able to see where the current cover has been attached (most likely with staples).
#
3

Remove the staples using the pliers and screwdriver or pry bar. These can be tough to remove so just keep working on them and be patient.
#
4

Remove the old seat cover from the seat, leaving the foam in place.
#
5

Take the new seat cover and place it on the seat; turn the seat upside down.
#
6

Begin pushing the loose ends of the seat cover against the seat and stapling them down with the staple gun.
#
7

Work your way around the seat, stapling down the cover and keeping it all tight.
#
8

When finished stapling, reattach your seat and you are ready to ride!

It really doesn't look that hard.
