I got my VT1100 running today that has a ratty old corbin on it and my ass just loved it.  My Valk has a whole  4 piece Ultimate Lowrider setup and I was wondering if I just got the Corbin Solo, would it be compatible with the rear Ultimate?

I also had the Corbin seat on my VT1100T Shadow and loved it. When I bought my first Valk IS, I bought a Corbin for it, thinking I was going to get the same seat. It wasn't.

I put the seat on, and within the mile, I wanted to remove it again. Road the 30 miles home, took it off, and never touched it again. A local rider, msb, has had the same seat for 18+ years and likes it.

Bought an Ultimate, liked it, but it wasn't good enough, also went back to the OEM.

Now I'm looking for an inexpensive std/tourer driver seat. Will take it down to the pan, and build it up like my old Corbin seat. Loved the way it held your buttock like you where sitting in a pail.

Looking at the Corbin site, the seat is stitched but looks like the same pan profile. I don't like the way the Ultimate pushes your ass forward.  The Mustang I tried on the 1100 did the same.
