I'm excited to get my Comfort seat, it should be here the middle of next week. 
No doubt about it, it's GOT to be better than the Icon stock seat!!!

Very interesting design. Could look incredible if SC would do some colored welts along that back end!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they find the volume enough to also offer a complete seat as an option. On other models it is a 95.00 upgrade which gets close to the cost of the Ducati Comfort Seat but I would prefer a Seat Concepts seat over that anyway.

They do offer a yellow or red piping option, would like to see one though since my experience with red seat highlights is that then tend to turn pink over time.Very interesting design. Could look incredible if SC would do some colored welts along that back end!

Don't care much for the Corbin - looks "strange" to me, and I wish they offered a brown option. Their's is high quality stuff though - real leather - and I'm sure it a huge comfort improvement, but very pricey.
I'd go for the seat concepts in a heartbeat if they offered brown - gonna call them today and see if it's possible.

I have an un-sat on FT seat up for grabs? I bet it would suit a yellow Icon!

tonyjuliano I believe you can have Corbin make it whatever color you want and pick the stitching and piping colors as well as the side vinyl, etc... they're pretty open to whatever you want if you've got the patience and $$$. Personally, I have liked Corbin seats I've sat on because they're really firm, but the dish spreads out your butt contact so you don't develop painful hot spots. I don't care for some of their old seats you see come up for sale used, but most post 2000 make stuff I've seen has been really nice.
That said, the sort of people that run a sheep pelt on an old BMW airhead seem to hate Corbin seats though I've noticed in my online forum participation. I'm not sure if they find them uncomfortable or too fashion forward

"$$$" is the operative word here...
Corbin wants almost $500 US for that seat - too rich for my blood.

They look nice, but $250 for a cover?
I dropped my Classic off at Sargents Monday for a few weeks of R&D. They've ready had the other three models in for development and have come up with two complete seats, pans included. One will be a "two-up" version with sculpted seating, while the other is a "café" style similar to Corbin's.
I'm having them shape a flat "bench" surface for my bike more in keeping with a true enduro, allowing the ability to slide around on the seat, more in keeping with dirt riding. I already modified my stock pan by cutting out the tool kit recess, filling the void with an inch and a half of foam and riveting a thin piece of aluminum to the bottom of the pan. They are shaping additional foam on top of the existing seat to make a level surface, front to rear, without changing the overall profile of the outer shape. This will raise the riding position a little more than a inch, which will be nice and should hopefully eliminate the hated OEM ridge.
I supplied a piece of black leather for the cover (thirty dollars from Tandy). Looking at a two week turn-around and another $150 for Sargent's foam shaping and stitch labor.
In the mean while, they are developing their own "bench" option, including pan. Production in roughly three months for all three versions. Pricing TBD.
I'd wait for them...
