Has your patience worn out? If not, mine has for you! They should be paying you as well as giving you the new seat.

Technically, she's back. I keep wanting to take some pics, but I always remember when it's dark outside. I should have them by this weekend.
I am also trying to decide if the seat is comfortable enough for me. I think I need to add a touch of padding to the points under my butt bones, but otherwise I like it.

You don't sound very excited about it!

I'm still on the fence. I like the look, but the comfort I'm not sure about yet. It is another 1/4 inch lower, though. That's a BIG plus for me. Although, they had to shave a bunch off of their production seat to manage that.
As with all seats, the comfort might improve as it gets broken in. :don'tknow:

That's what I'm hoping for. I'm taking this week to ride it out a little before I make my final judgment. Also, I'm going on a canyon ride on Monday, so that should give me a really good idea if this seat is for me.
Corbin states with every seat that the breakin is 1,000 miles and they ask customers to please ride out those miles before forming an opinion. That's a LOT of miles just for a seat.
I do hope that it does break in and you get the comfort you are looking for though! Keep us informed.

What about that seat gap for the poor sots like me who had to raise it up?
Mine's still looking bugly with that annoying gap.
Any idea what these seats are going to cost yet anyways?

There is no gap on the low setting. I haven't tried the tall setting yet as it would mean I can't get on the bike. I will be taking some pics this weekend, so I will get one of the seat in high position too. I think there would be no gap judging by how it looks now.
No idea on pricing yet. They may have gotten the seat up on the site, so you can check there. If not, it will be soon.

From the looks of it I would have to pass on it but that's just my opinion. It looks comfortable though.

I'm really up in the air about this seat...not at all what I was thinking it would turn out to be like.
Pros:
- Looks comfortable
- Customizable
Cons:
- Expensive
- "one" seat instead of split into 2
I like the way it looks on the white bike...but how would it look on the other colors I wonder...

Nice looking saddle but too rich for my blood. Only other option seems to be the Yamaha "Comfort Seat" for $249 CAN. I wish I knew how comfy that was.
