The amazing thing is that you can order it with a fulisik combination of whatever colours you want for the same price as basic black!
I've had a Corbin seat before, and swear by them, as does my Mrs. I'm saving up, and getting samples of their leathers to help me decide what colours to get. :)
If anyone beats me to it, would love to see/hear your thoughts on the seat.
Cheers,
Gonzo

If air isn't restricted to the airbox (and I assume the aftermarket seats would have far less restriction) wouldn't you risk damaging your engine because your bike would run too lean?

They must surely be aware of the breathing arrangement.
| My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.

Don't forget the bike is not carburettored, allowing the engine system to adjust for any chnages in air intake and the like, within a certain tolerance. So *if* the seat pans do allow extra air in (which I would doubt, myself) then the engine management system would adjust for it, not allowing it to be lean, but rather extra power.

For those that are wondering, the electrical cables are only on the optional seat heaters. :)
I tell ya, some riders are too SOFT! ;-)
Yep, will let you know how it goes. I'm waiting on some leather samples from them and once decided, will be ordering.
