Bob, I have a Corbin that I have had about 7500 miles.  My longest days
have been in the 400-500 mile range.  I have no compliants and find it
easily good for that many miles at a sitting.  Last year I rode from
Mansfield,OH to W-S, NC with 2 stops in under 8 hours, 480 miles.  That
said I thought the stock seat was fine.  I have a Corbin for the
passinger backrest.  Two up my wife and I have done over 400 miles.  Her
only compliant is she tends to slide forward.  This is partially due to
the saddlebags, soft, as well as the seat.
