    gel seat vs corbin

    ive been debating whether to get a gel seat or a corbin seat for my busa. not really sure if one is better than the other or not. anyone have any input about either?

    funny joe, the seamstress is a great seamstress. the cover was made from copying the stock cover. it looks funny because the amount of foam i removed to change seating position. she was going to remake the cover but i said screw it, i wanna ride

    I thought you Legion of Doom Guy's were tough. You don't need a soft seat.

    For a Busa I think a Corbin seat would be great. The gel inserts are pretty comfortable though.

    Gel sucks heat from the sun ... then you go to sit on it ... helps pop out the 'roids!

    Never had a gel seat, but my bike had a Corbin, and it was great for long rides. Huge difference over the stock seat once on it for 40+ minutes.
