Love the seat colors 😊goes really well with the rest of the bike 😊
@@eddyyoder457 thanks I really appreciate the comment!🤙
Nice, gives it a more vintage look
Thanks. It is way more comfortable. And thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
Beautiful upgrade . Looks great on the boy and huge comfort bonus. Well done.
Thanks.. I was a little worried at first but am totally happy with it!
Beautiful bike, love your new seat as well.
Hey thanks very much. I was nervous in the beginning but I have grown to love this seat. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
I put a Corbin King & Queen Leather Saddle with Rider backrest on my bike in 97', and I could ride all day and feel better when I got off than when I got on.
My first Corbin was on my Indian. Loved it. That's why I got one for the Fat Boy. No regrets... like you, I can ride long stints in total comfort. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
Getting ready to put the same seat on my 23 Fatboy thanks for sharing your video, opinions, very but I think the seat looks a lot better than the original👍
Dude I am stoked for you! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
That is a beautifully designed seat for that brand new bike. And you must be so pleased, not to mention. It looks really Comfortable. I have to call Corbin and consult them regarding my Triumph Rocket 3 classic seat Upgrade!!! WOW!!
So far I'm really pleased with the Corbin seat. In about 1500 miles it should be well broken in. I have not looked at what bike brands they handle but I think a Corbin seat on your rocket would be great. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
Looks super comfortable compared to stock, but the look of the stocks he looks much better. This style seat makes the Bike look like an older Harley. Additionally, the style of that seat looks like it belongs on a touring bagger bike rather than a sporty fat boy
I must agree that the stock seat looks much better. However my comfort is priority and this new seat has not let me down. Thanks for the comment!
I agree, it's not nearly as nice looking as the OEM seat. I know a few people who loved the OEM seat on their bike but didn't find it comfortable enough for longer rides. They got some gel inserts put in it by an upholsterer. They all say problem solved - and got to have their cake and eat it too. You can always give it a try since you kept the original seat - and it's a lot cheaper than buying an expensive new seat!
I thought about trying that but decided to go with the Corbin and keep the original unmolested. And besides, I don't know a good upholstery skilled to do the job
Looks good
Thanks!
You are a natural teacher. I like your educational videos, especially since I have an anniversary edition of the 2023 Fatboy also. So far, I have a chrome oil cooler cover and a heel shifter add on. More to come. I only wish the front fender dropped down a bit lower in the back. Some of the cooling fins are flat already from small particles of sand, etc. I'm trying to find a "fender extender".
Hey thanks for the comments. I really appreciate that very much! I have seen a sort of front spoiler that mounts to the frame over the oile cooler that provides so e protection for the fins. I think it is made by Kuryakan. Might be worth a look. Thanks again for the comment and for watching 🤙
Hi, I found online an oil cooler radiator grille cover protector which fits under the frame of the radiator. It has a finer mesh and isn't noticeable at all
Nice buy ever fought of racing your handles sorry if I don’t know what they are call so you won’t feel you be fed slightly nice seat GODBLESS👍
I actually prefer the handlebars the way they are now. It is a comfortable riding g position. Thanks for the comment and for watching. 🤙
I almost bought one of these anniversary Fat Boys but after some long thinking, I'm glad i didn’t. I think its the nicest 120th anniversaries though
I am really enjoying mine. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
that's such a dope paint job on that bike. I have a '21 in grey and black and love that combo, but ya I know what you mean about the seat. I was looking at the Corbin's as well but haven't made any decision yet.
Thanks I really appreciate that! As for the seat I am really enjoying my corbin.
I think it looks great. The only thing I might have done differently is chose red stitching but maybe that would have made it too busy looking I’m not sure. Nice seat, nice choice. Beautiful bike.
@timbutler3213 I almost did a red stich but like you said, I thought it may be a little much.
Love the color of the anniversary bike 👍 I was looking for one when I got mine which they didn’t have there at my dealership at the time so I went ahead and got the Vivid Black on mine love it but wouldn’t you know it about a week later they had one come in LoL that’s my kinda luck but it’s all cool 😎
The Vivid Black looks amazing. I'm sure you will love it! Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
sweet bike! I have 2023 fatboy non-anniversary and I have exact same complaint about the seat. My tailbone is really sore after 30 to 45 minutes. I was considering modifying my seat to add gel pads creating a valley in the middle. From your video, your new seat looks like it has a depression in the middle to cradle that area. Anyway, would love to hear an update on your seat. And I actually think the new seat looks way nicer too. Also, in your video you say two things. (1) you feel higher on the bike and (2) more in the saddle. I love the down in the saddle type position. Perhaps you could shoot some video of yourself on the bike holding the handlebars. I'm a little taller, just under 6ft tall, and my legs are bent with feet flat on the ground so being a little higher might be ok. I wish there was a place you could go and just try things out. Anyway, love the video, very informative.
Thanks for the comment, and congrats on your Fat Boy! I'll see if I can get some pics in an upcoming video. At your height, you should be just fine. I'm 5'7" with a 30" inseam on my Levi's. With the stock seat, I could easily flat foot the bike with a slightly bent knee. I think the Corbin sits about an inch taller but is also a smidgen wider. Avoiding the pipes, I can flat foot one foot with the other foot on the ball. It's fine, and I have gotten used to it. If my legs were an inch longer, I could flat foot both feet more comfortably. And yes, I sit more "in" the bike rather than "on" it like the stock one. I had a similar one on my Indian and loved it. It is firm, but the shape is what makes it comfortable. Too soft is not good on long rides I have found. Corbin is pricey, but to me, it was worth it. There may be other seats less expensive and also comfortable. I just went with my experience and have not regretted it. I hope you find something that works well for you! Thanks again for the comment and for watching 🤙
Thanks for the review! But what was passenger feedback?
She is sitting right here, and she says she loves it! Far more comfortable than stock. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
Yes, I think the original looks better too.
I agree, but I am getting used to it. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
Notice in the rear fenders look a little reminiscent of the deuce just noticed that
Hey that's cool! Thanks for the comment and for watching. And have a Happy Thanksgiving 🤙
Can you post the link of this seat. I would like to get the same seat for my 2023 fat boy😊
The link is in the description. Go to corbin.com, search for your bike, click order and thats where you will find the seat configuration tool. I am not sure if it works on phones. I used my desktop. Hope this helps... thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
@@OkieTwister66thank you kind sir!
Where's the new sound ? I didn't hear it.
Check my video on Exhaust and you can hear it. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
I have the same bike can you give me the specs you ordered please?
Thanks for watching. I think my seat specs with the Corbin are as follows:
Seat.. black leather
Diamond stitch.. black
Stud band... Oxblood
Side.. smoke bomber jacket
Welt.. oxblood
No studs
Logo.. black thread
Hope this helps and thanks again!
Chrome swingarm need for this bike
Man that would be awesome. I wonder how much it would cost.
nice seat but i prefer the factory
For me it's a matter of perspective. From an aesthetic standpoint, I agree with you. However, from a comfort level, I prefer the Corbin. Thanks for watching 🤙
Corbin has got some of the absolute WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE of any shop I’ve ever dealt with! Those girls that work there are about as useless as you can get. My Corbin solo seat on my 2014 Fatboy is hard as hell. Any more than 3 hours and my ass aches. It’s got 4,000 miles on it now and there is no “breaking it in”. The leather shows wear but that seat is still rock hard. Even if they made the most comfy seat on the planet…. I would never deal with this company again.
Man, I really hate to hear this. I have had two Corbin seats and have always gotten good service from them. As for the seats' comfort, I could not be more pleased. No, they are not soft and cushy, but they are firm and provide much better support and even distribution of weight. The seats that I have replaced with Corbin were both awful after about 30 minutes. After an hour, they were unbearable. If I can get four hours of comfort, then that's a good thing in my book. I am happy with my choice.
Corbin service... I think you are the second person who has mentioned a poor experience with them. That's not a good thing for any company, especially one who is considered to have a premium product and a price tag that reflects it. Every customer should be handled with care. Maybe it is a sign of the times. It seems service in every part of life has deteriorated these days. It seems people these days don't give a crap. Again,, I'm sad you had a bad experience... I totally get it. Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
@@OkieTwister66 I think their service is dependant on whether the seat is ordered online or purchased at their shop. Seems that folks who go to their shop always leave happy. I live in Canada and I can tell you this, the minute your seat is paid for and leaves their shop…. the service stops!
That’s the perfect bike to put a super model on!!! Bc they are both incredibly sexy!⭐️🇺🇸⭐️❤️ only Harley I would put my hard earned money on !! Hoosier Wing🇺🇸⭐️
Thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
Do you still have the stock seat? Wanna sell it?
Yes, I still have it, and it's not for sale, but thanks for the comment and for watching 🤙
HD is not paying attention to what the customer base requires for comfort and safety. Seat is one example. Another is the lack of LED lights on current models (head light, tail light, turn signals). Also, lame sounding horns, bad breaks, and tube tires. Nostalgia only goes so far, and my checkbook says no!!!! I should have bought a sportster, but HD has bitched this model up as well. That tank emblem is atrocious and you are concerned with the seat ????? God, it's an ugly emblem, and cheap looking !!! You will never guess, but I like the older bikes !!!!!! I did enjoy your content and have just subscribed. We need you !!!!!
I have to agree about HD not listening to customers on some things, especially the ones you mentioned. Follow the money and it will take you there. That's the world in which we live today. Although I understand the premise of wanting customers to spend more on upgrades, but there are a ton of aftermarket "upgrades" out there that HD will never see any money for. My seat is a good example. I had to go elsewhere for comfort. Thanks for the subscription, your comment, and for watching! I need good viewers like you to help keep me on point 👍
@@OkieTwister66 - Your Welcome, ride safe !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A 2023 needs a seat "upgrade"?
Ill buy a Honda now
Funny thing... I had a Honda and it's stock seat was awful, and so was the stock seat on my Indian. I'm happy with the upgrade. Buy what you like. Ride what you like. I do. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
When somebody has nothing to say, they say so forth. What does this saying mean. Nothing. Wake up and think before you start.
Well alrighty then.
Dont forget to go to the Adam Sandoval Stubborn American Rally and the end of Sept.
My friend had a bike like yours. He hit some gravel in a turn and wrecked it a couple months ago.
Man that's really bad news about your friend who wrecked his bike. I hope he is OK. I have the KRiver event on my calendar but I won't know for sure if I can make it or not until that week. Work. Thanks for the comment, reminder, and for watching 🤙
He's Ok. Im not sure if they totaled his bike@@OkieTwister66
