As far as installing, just insert the back of the seat between the backrest supports if that makes sense and then push back until the nose of seat clears the catch on the tank.

Installation was pretty simple. Make sure to remove the padded back ready "head" if your running the Honda factory BR. Its difficult to get past with the end of the seat. My big question was comfort for the price. Like any quality bike related item, its gonna cost and this was no exception.
I went on a trip with some buds for the day to the east of Georgia....566 miles in a day. By the time I got home the posterior was feeling the ride but nothing compared to how it would have been stock. Stock seat gave me 80 or so miles looking for a stop and relief. Corbin was more like 180 miles.
Is it worth the money? Definitely. At least your wallet will feel good against the seat, even though it will be considerably lighter!
I'm thinking about ordering the seat and wondered how long you had to wait after you placed your order please? Also did it change the overall seating position from stock?

The riding position feels slightly lower....due to the fact that seat has more "cupping" and provides some lower back support. It took a solid two weeks for mine. Made to order I understand. I also got the slide in back rest as a later purchase and really like it. It improved my riding posture. I feel more upright in the saddle overall....seat and back rest together.
Thanks mkurupI ordered on May 25th and was told to expect it June 24 - July 1.
I'll drop a note when it arrives..
Since the rider position is slightly lower do you feel a little more cramped with the pegs the way they are please? What about the reach to the bars? Probably my only gripe about the bike so far are the bars and pegs.The riding position feels slightly lower....due to the fact that seat has more "cupping" and provides some lower back support.

Thanks so much mkurup and please give your opinion once you've had a chance to try it out. Also did you order it direct from their website please? I noticed somebody is taking orders for the same seat on Ebay.My seat arrived today, so:
Ordered May 25th
Received June 16
For those wondering about lead times....

Yes, The seat comes down over the top of both side-covers, and I cannot remove them. I can get at the pre-load adjuster by popping the front and lower grommets on the left side, but there is no way I can pop the top grommet on either side, so the covers cannot be fully removed.Hi Mkurup, why do you say, "My side covers are never coming off with the seat installed" ?
Is the new Corbin seat obstructing them? Can you elaborate thanks...
I thought the same thing when I tried removing the side covers but they will come off you just need to tilt the covers properly and wiggle just a bit.Yes, The seat comes down over the top of both side-covers, and I cannot remove them.
