• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Corbin or Seat Concepts

So I am in between the Corbin seats (as I am an hour away from them) or Seat Concepts.

For me the Corbin allows me to pick exactly how I want the seat to look like and feel if I go there and have them make it. But the cost is a lot more than SC.
SC is a proven design, cheaper, functional just like the Corbin which both have a very similar base design.

So Corbin or SC?
 
SC here, did it myself, and no my boxer isn't really that tiny.

Corbin is nice old school just like Renazco. Tried and true custom made to you, but expensive. SC is DIY for a more modest price

you can send your seat in and they will install, still inexpensive. But I REALLY like their foam and seat shapes. Nice covers too. I have three of them.
 
I had a Renzaco on my 610 and liked it but just recently put an SC on my 501S, and like it too. Installing the SC is a piece of cake. Renz has better seat cover options but in the end SC, when you do the installation yourself costs less than half as much and is an equally comfortable seat.

I'll keep the spare change, thank you!
 
Pulled the trigger and went with SC per all the good recommendations and experiences here. As soon as it arrives I'll be doing the install and we shall see where it goes!!
 
I have never tried a Corbin seat but the SC seat is by far the best thing I bought for the bike. Without that seat I would never have been able to completely enjoy this awesome bike.
 
I found the SC is a lot more comfortable on a longer ride (Sydney - Melbourne), but the wider seat made it less comfortable moving around in the seat for more enthusiastic road riding (Phillip Island)
 
My 610 already had a SC on it, but I have used them twice before and I have always been happy with them. My wife's XT250 has a Corbin and it has a seam right near the tank that really bothers her.

I'm up on the narrow section for all my enthusiastic riding
 
The SeatConcepts is great - though if I am going 300+ miles on road, I slap an Airhawk Small Pillion on top too. It also doubles as a pillow at campsite.
 
I got the SC on my 630 upon purchase from the PO and really like it. I am not a Corbin fan at all. I don't believe it should have to "break in". I Had a couple and used a couple, No thanks for me.

I would do a Renazco but the seat concepts would be my first choice.
