Kelsey Posted June 21, 2014 #1 Posted June 21, 2014 Hello, Just 2 days ago I picked up my Venture.. Love the bike but the previous owner had installed a full Corbin seat on it and it is simply too firm for my liking.. the seat is i n excellent condition I would like to trade the Corbin for a stock seat with driver's backrest... Anybody have a stock seat in excellent condition that would like to make the trade? Please contact me if you do. my phone is 208-221-7866 Thanks
Rick Butler Posted June 21, 2014 #2 Posted June 21, 2014 Kelsey, Before I did anything, I'd ask the previous owner if he (or she) still had the stock seats?

Ventureless Posted June 21, 2014 #3 Posted June 21, 2014 I know the Corbin will not be for everybody, but you may want to give it a chance. Mine also came with a Corbin. I said the same things as you and hated it. I did purchase a stock seat and tried it. SO much worse. So I continued with the Corbin and about 2 years later I love it. Once it started to break in to my big ^ss, it got more comfortable. I have ridden almost 1000 mile days and got off feeling like I had ridden 2 miles to the store. Like I said, it won't be for everyone, but I would at least give it a fighting chance.

I was thinking about a gel pad underneath, but I have given it a chance and I just prefer a softer seat
Kelsey Posted June 21, 2014 Author #6 Posted June 21, 2014 Does the Corbin have a backrest? Yes it does that is why I want to trade for a stock seat with a backrest.. I like the backrest
Kelsey Posted June 21, 2014 Author #7 Posted June 21, 2014 I do have a question for those of you in the "know" Is the stock pillow seat any taller or wider than the Corbin? Thanks
etcswjoe Posted June 21, 2014 #8 Posted June 21, 2014 I do have a question for those of you in the "know" Is the stock pillow seat any taller or wider than the Corbin? Thanks I think they are but my wife thinks the Corbin is wider.

Kelsey Posted June 22, 2014 Author #16 Posted June 22, 2014 So I guess the switch won't work out. We can always mail
dvuch1 Posted June 22, 2014 #18 Posted June 22, 2014 I'd be interested in swapping. I can send you pics. My is an 86 VR brown seat no tears. No back rest. Is your Corbin brown? Dave 402 540 1288

Kelsey Posted June 23, 2014 Author #22 Posted June 23, 2014 Got the trade done locally today.. Didn't get a driver's backrest with the deal.. But the stock seat seems way more soft thanks for all the interest..
