My A16 is comfortable for short trips, but causes numbness and tingling in my private parts on longer rides. I'm taking the hint, and upgrading the seat! I'm a bit put off by reports of Corbin seats soaking up water and then leaking for days. When I asked if they would use seam sealer on a special order basis, they said no (they did suggest that eliminating the piping makes a more comfortable seat and reduces leakage). This leaves me wondering about the Corbin look-alike offered at www.sporttour.com. I emailed to ask if their seatcover was sealed or seamless, but I've had no response. Has anyone on the list had experience with the sporttour.com seats? Steve R.

Hey Steve, I've got the Sport tour rebuilt seat and it is much better than stock. Still likes to collect water though.... How much do you weigh? If you're under say 190lbs the Sport tour is probably as good as the Corbin for you. I weigh in about 230lbs and would have liked some slightly firmer foam in the seat than what they used. Still a great product and about $75 cheaper than the Corbin. (It was more like $175 when I bought the Sporttour). dat brooklyn bum
