RE: [ST] Truimph gel seat Vs. Corbin

[Erik Miner <eeminer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found the same thing on the Corbin I tried on my ST (and other bikes)  I 
found that they put the transition too far back, which causes one to slide 
front to back or I to try and hold my self in place, very tiring. You can 
ask them to move the drivers portion up but that's hit or miss. I have 
heard for numerous people that if you go to Corbins shop and have the seat 
made for you that they are pretty good, but that really excludes most people.
