Corbin seat

grandpa10 · 08-20-2011, 10:52 PM

Hi, new to this site and just purchased a 2008 Nomad. I am looking to buy a Corbin seat to lower seat height ( for my short legs ). On their website they don't list one for a 2008 but do have one for a 2007. I called them and they said couldn't sell a 2007 one to me because I have a 2008 and they do not do refunds. My question is are the 2007 and 2008 on the 1600 nomad's seats the same ?

Thanks, Doug P.S. great website and great bike

How much does your 2008 Nomad cost?

The right pair of boots could give you + one to two inches of hight.

Are the Corbins (or any other aftermarket seats) any narrower than OEM? I need to lose about a 1/2"-1" from each side.

I got a Corbin for my 07 and it actually increased the reach to the road. My seat feels a little wider because it is actually harder than the stock seat so where I used to flat foot the road no problem, now it seems like I am stretching ever so slightly to get there.

http://www.sports-drive.com/bike-seats/products He will narrow a seat and fix it to fit your riding style took my bike and he looked at how I sat on it and reworked my front and rear seat put in gel and memory foam and narrowed the seat for 300
he is located about 40 miles south of Knoxville Tn. in Vonore Tn.

Corbin has been making seats for awhile now I'm sure if they say it won't fit it won't fit

I would look into one of the company's that build the seat to what you want
I posted the link to one and there are several others to choose from.
As a bonus I bet every one of them costs less than a corbin
