Hello guys, I have an 08 C14 with a Corbin seat that I would like to change. The seat is too hard for me. I have a mustang seat on my VTX1800 and I love it, does any of you have a seat on your concours that is comparable to the feel of a mustang seat?

Thanks in advance for your input.

A buddy of mine had a Corbin. I saw no difference between that seat on the Concours and what I have on my cruiser. When I sat comfortably in the seat, I couldn't reach the handlebars.

I had a Sargent seat on mine. It was firm, but shaped for a sport touring bike. I liked the stock seat for 20 mile rides because it had some bounce to it, but you eventually sunk to the pan on longer rides.

I've got nearly 50k miles on my Kawasaki accessory seat--bought it not too long after the bike. I had been sanding away slopped spots of the OEM seat, but the foam is just too spongy leading to sinking into the seat as @twowheeladdict mentions--and, I only weigh about 155# plus riding gear. So, anyway...there was some getting used to the accessory seat. I just wanted to ride and not dwell on the seat too much.

So, with a few rides other sensations began to get my attention. Buzzy bars and the location themselves. Took about 10k miles and a year to get the bar location sorted, and even added 5/8" spacers just last year.

Meanwhile, my Kawasaki accessory gel seat developed a divot where I had been sitting. This past summer I opened up the seat to see what could be done. I've added three layers of some perforated, grippy, spongy material. Pulled-down the cover and re-stapled. Working pretty nice.

I see no need to replace the seat, and if I decided to, I'd probably be wondering where to go like you are now. Having had a Corbin on my 2K8Z1K, I understand the firmness (hardness) you are referring about; so, I would probably really consider another Kawasaki accessory seat based on my experience with the C14 Kawasaki accessory seat. :2cents:

Probably a bit late but I have tried Stock, Stock gel seat, stock modified with gel, Corbin, Sargent, .... Russel Day Long is what you want if you intend to ride for longer periods of time.
