New Corbin Saddle

I'm leaning towards the Russell Day Long seat over the Corbin. Not 100% positive yet but they look a bit more comfortable.

I had a Corbin seat on my 05 Rocket. After 100 to 120 miles my ass went numb every time. The seat felt great starting out but it was just too hard as the trip continued. I bought the 05 Rocket used with 8K on it so maybe the other guys ass made a permanent divot. The stock seat on my 14 Rocket is fine for long distance. I honestly think it depends on how you're built and the shape of your Butt. The Corbin wasn't right for me but it was a very good looking seat.
 

I ordered my Russel Day Long, build date is 8 December. I'll send pics when I get it back, should be in time for xmas.
 
I agree, photoshopped looks better than chopped... And it's rain-proof...
 
 
Agree about beauty being in the eye of the beholder but when I see those fender extensions being added to keep owners and passengers dry..... they look. well, ugly. This was a try at compromise. I'd be curious to see what others would do to the back end. Everyone I've spoken too in my city are intrigued about the engine size and quality of the new Rocket but are miffed at the missing back end. Many actually prefer the old bike's looks to the new. I don't doubt that the new R3 is a hoot to ride but with bags for long distance travelling..... the old Rocket with Corbin bags looks downright sexy.
 
given how many rockets are in Timmins, yours have to be a unique novelty, i was up there visiting family and friends last summer and i brought the R3T up with me, and that got a lot of questions, and looks
