Like new Corbin Canyons saddle for G310 GS that sells for over $600 new. Only used for five weeks before my bike died. The seating material is black carbon fiber look leather with light blue stitching and piping that match the BMW Logo blue pretty well. Seat is so much more comfortable than stock. I did an iron butt with this the day before my bike blew up. The sides are gray vinyl to increase flexibility and prevent cracking over time. Price includes shipping in the continental US.

8,446 and 46 days old. All service done at BMW dealers. DLC on cam disintegrated, engine then proceeded to burn out the valves. BMW very good about honoring the warrantee and bought the bike back from me.

Holy Moly! That’s a deal on a sweet seat! Looks much nicer than one on the Corbin site. If I wasn’t on financial restriction I would be all over this. Wow your bike didn’t even make the first valve check. Did you have any warning at all, or just “boom”. At least BMW made it right.

Not really, but it is custom shaped because the stock seat tends to slope towards the front making you (or at least me) feel like you’re always sliding forward and holding yourself up with your arms. This seat slopes a bit more to the rear so you slide back into it naturally and your body feels balanced. It is also slimmer at the front so shorter legs are easier to touch the ground when stopped. I’m 5’7” and it’s perfect. I also never have a passenger so the rear portion is flat to facilitate strapping things down versus passenger comfort. It also doesn’t have the socket for the optional rear passenger backrest. I had that cut out and replaced with foam so there’s no hard spot. With the stock seat four hour rides were painful and even before the leather was broken in the 7 hour ride home from Hollister when the seat was made felt like I hadn’t ridden at all. Even after my 1,009 mile 18:41 hour (iron butt) day it felt wonderful. This is what makes Corbin Saddles worth it.
