    Question Corbin Seat Question?

    Anyone have one of these (or any other leather seat) and wear Cordura pants?

    Just curious.. the one I got used is very, very comfortable.

    It is "just right" with my leather pants in terms of sliding around on the seat.

    However, I just took off friday for Vermont with my Joe Rocket pants on, and the pants are so slippery against the saddle that no matter how hard I squeeze the tank I can't keep from sliding all over the place under hard acceleration or hard braking... It is bad enough to make it hard to ride the bike quickly without upsetting the chassis as I slide around.

    A web search turned up a hit that leather conditioner might help... anyone have any experience with this kind of thing?

    Corbin Seat Question?

    I got no problem. They are a little slick, and I have the exact same pants as you, but it isn't an issue for me.

    Then again I'm a little bitch and weigh nothing, so that may help to keep my ass planted.
