Eric,
I actually like being able to slide forward and aft a bit on a long
ride.  Moving back when butt burn sets in transfers weight from the bum
to the inner thighs to give some relief.  One of my two complaints with
the standard seat was the forward slope that prevented moving back.  I
have the Corbin G&L with carbon look weave leather cover and I really
haven't noticed a problem with not being able to hang on under WFO
acceleration in the lower gears.  The Corbin also has enough extra
width to address my second complaint with the stocker and spreads the
rider's weight over more square inchs/cm of butt but ST owner's that 
are vertically challenged and short of inseam be forewarned, the Corbin
will make it a bit more difficult to get your feet down to balance the
bike at traffic signals and such because of the additional width.  
Others will not like the additional firmness over the original seat
but I didn't have a problem with that either after a few hundred miles.

In regards to other listers complaints regarding Corbin's service and
quality, I ordered mine in January and was advised it would take 4 weeks
to make and ship.  It arrived at 4 weeks almost to the day.  The fit is
perfect and the quality of manufacture is first rate.  But don't blame
me if yours turns out crap! ;)

Last Friday I had a chance for the first time to put in a over 200 mile
ride, 550 to be exact, and at the end of the day, my butt was easily 
good for another 200 plus. It works for me.
