I have used Corbins for years (Iron and Baby Butt riding). You MUST give it time to break in - at least 1000 miles... If you look at most common bad reviews, it is from folks who install it, ride for a day and then call it quits. The seat is worth the money. I have owned at least 6 of these...

Got my 4XL yesterday - wouldn't fit most adult males - I would call it a medium in normal american sizing. Tried to process a return and was denied due to low cost and cost to ship back to China (unless I wanted to pay the shipping). Going to donate it to a small person. I would say skip this....

Got it. Sizing is a huge issue - 4XL would only fit a teenager. Super cheep and doesn't get very warm. Skip this.

Ordered but not yet received - have Amazon shipping confirmation from China. Expect it in the next week or so.

For 27 bucks, worth a try. And Amazon which has a great return policy, so no risk. Thanks for the heads up.

I have these as well - fantastic - pricy, but solid. I still have them on the bike. https://www.nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/12775-knight-design-1-1-4-inch-lowered-wide-front-foot-peg-unboxing-installation.html?highlight=knight+design+unboxing

Great deal!

Of course, my vote is the Corbin... https://www.nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/12654-corbin-seats-unboxing-installation-review.html?highlight=unboxing+corbin

Spent the day riding the old 224 from Oregon City to Detroit Lake - one of the coolest MC roads in my area, it follows the Clackamas River with beautiful scenery and twisties. Had the road almost to myself - a Mazda Miata club and a Ducati group were the only ones out there other than an odd or...

Honda ST1100 - had 3 of them in a row. I call my NC700, my "ST1100 Mini-Me". (Note: Honda ruined the line with the ST1300...yuck! Bought, rode for 3 months and sold it in disgust) The big bike just got too heavy for me and rather than give up the style I like, I bought a NC, and built it...

Saturday - de-winterize. New oil and DCT filters and oil, inspection, tightened chain and dusted it off. Sunday, 60's and sunny in Portland - spent the morning getting to know my old friend in the back-country. Awesome!

Corbin - even with the silly lettering. (BTW, order the lettering in black - takes care of that issue). I have had these saddles on all my ST's and now my NC (20 years of riding sport touring) - if you go through the standard break-in period, it is am amazing seat. I can ride any distance and...

In another thread, I was answering that I preferred the Corbin over all the others I have tried - came back here to add the link to this thread and realized I had not followed up on my "review." As expected, after about 1000 miles, this seat again proved to be awesome - I have no idea it is...

Good catch - yes - it is a Tiger 800 - here is the exact bike...

About $100 a day...
