well, after a 6 day wait, I pulled in the driveway and saw a rather large box on the doorstep. I asked my wife what she had ordered. "nothing that would be in a box that large", followed by , " do they ship refrigerators via ups?". yes, the box is very large. lots of packing. I see why it cost $50 for shipping. I assume that oneida has ordered a large quantity of corbin seats. I am sure that is the reason they offer only one version.
the installation went rather well. I had to remove the stock Suzuki bumpers for the seat and take a beltsander to them to remove an 1/8". I remember what paul had said about the bumpers settling in, but there was no way they would drop that much. I couldn't get the seat to latch with my 245lbs sitting on the passenger spot. with the 1/8" removed, it is a very snug fit, requiring a little shove to latch.
the fit is phenominal. if you have a 32"+ inseam, this seat is a must have. don't even hesitate ordering. it is that good. I had the backrest removed from my stock seat and it was still a little cramped. now, the seat is actually a little too far to the rear! I can fully lock my legs with them on the forward portion of the footrests. the flat portion of the footrest is also much much better now. feels very natural. the seat is wider and shaped better. the stock seat looks very cheap next to the corbin.
I plan to get the backrest for the driver for christmas, and maybe go ahead and order the givi case now.
the windshield is too short now. but, it is better than before. at least now I am getting the full effect of the wind in my face. before, it was like the upper half of my face was getting hit, while the lower half was protected. an odd felling to say the least.
I have limited mileage in the seat as of now. I will give my $.02 in a few days and a few hundred miles. so far,I love what the seat has to offer. absolutely worth the money.
