Great bike, uncomfortable seat (for me)

[JFMCC]

I recently changed to a Corbin. I have a 32 inch inseam an can just get flat footed at rest. The seat is far more comfortable than the stock low seat expensive but worth it to me.

I had the same problem with mine and I had the comfort seat. I'm 6'-2" and what I did was adjust the seat by putting the back support of the seat down in lowest position and the front support up one notch. Also, lowered the foot pegs with the Knights Kit and raised the hand bars an inch. This puts you in a more upright position, stops the sliding forward, and I thought the Trophy was the most comfortable bike I have ever had after the adjustments.

The best comfort investment that you can make for your Trophy is a Russell Day-Long seat.  I've ridden in 2 11-day Iron Butt Rallies, a 48 state ride in 8 days, and a 3900 mile cross country trip in 44 hours and every part of my body hurt EXCEPT my butt.  The Russell is that good.  I currently have 115k miles on the bike with all but about 10k with the Russell and it is still the best investment I made.  I'm not trying to brag about the miles but just offering some perspective as to why I think the Russell is worth the money.

The prevailing comment on Russell's.   I only have a Russell wish, since they add too much height for my little short legs to be an option.

If people find the seat isn't right, there are any number of motorcycle seat upholsterers that can modify it at reasonable cost (way below Russell prices).

+1 on the Russell Day Long.  It is a night and Day difference (pun intended).  It was comfortable right from the get go.  While it is costly, it is probably the single biggest improvement that I've put on this bike IMHO.  I will put it on any future bikes as well.

This is great information guys. 
Nice job on the 115k miles tdragger. I hope you keep the endurance and durability test going. 

The seat in the high position on the front won't allow the back to be in low position that I can see. It shifts the seat back slightly so that the rubber bumpers on the bottom sit on the higher spot.
 However, I just pulled the two rubber tabs off the bottom of the back of the seat.  That should help it not to be slanted forward as much.  I'll report back.

But can they retain the functionality of a heated seat?
