    1198/1098/848 corbin reviews?

    Anyone got any experience with this product? Every time I get off the 1098 I feel like I just spent the night tied up like Marsellus Wallace in a rest area. The factory seat is just too rough on my bony hinee.

    Have memory foam thrown in your stock seat. Any competent tailor should be able to do it.

    Hmm, good thought. And cheaper. Do you mean tailor or upholsterer? Would they typically have memory foam on hand or do you think I would need to bring it to them?

    Get a Sargent. Corbins are too hard.

    I have had a couple of Corbins and the were great. But I feel the Sargents are better engineered and made....

    however, your SUPPOSED to feel like you just spent the night tied up like Marsellus Wallace in a rest area after riding the 1098....!
