Russell I have heard. I have the Corbin and I will agree with the guy that said it is too wide for dirt. Russell Day Long is supposed to be the very best for long rides on the super slab. Criswell

The Corbin seat and Company (service) are the antithesis of Russel seat and Company The Corbon is better than stock only because it is wider It is hard as a rock The Russel is a custom seat with perfect form and function, soft and supportive (spring system) Russel is by far the best comfort seat on the market for any mptorcycle, i know of no one who would disagree Other custom seat makers are good too but a notch down from Russel That being said the Russel seat is overkill for the KLR. in my opinion The Corbin will work for the KLR and the Sargent seat. Is better for similar price Sent from my iPhone

For me, the Corbin works well. But I did a ride-in to the Corbin factory and had them make it to my specifications, shaping the foam so it didn't ride up on my 'nads for example when I moved up towards the front of the seat. I can ride all day on the Corbin. It's hard, but my butt is already well padded, so it's no more uncomfortable than sitting on a park bench. The problem is that it's too wide for dirt. Makes it hard to move around from side to side to keep your balance in the loose stuff, and so forth. One option is to get a stock 2008+ KLR seat. It's taller than the pre'08 seat, and seems to have a better foam in it, but it's still as narrow as the pre '08 seat. I found one on eBay and am going to try it when my leg heals up well enough that I can stand on my pegs...

Hey Chris, ride it to Julian next weekend. You can fix it in the presence of KLRoyalty. http://www.leftcoastklrs.com Thanks CA Stu

I bought the Russell Day-Long to get a seat as wide as I am (ahem). It's the best I've ever had. Warm in the summer, so I put a beaded cover on it then. No more sore butt from all day in the saddle. Chris gbennett69 wrote:
