I wish to upgrade the seat on my KLR. What experience has been
had by you all? I'm considering the Corbin seats but I don't know which one
is best. The primary criteria is road comfort.

Road comfort? - Mayer or Russell seats are comfy. My Mayer is Leather - I
would go w/ vinyl though and use the money saved to acquire a sheepskin
overlay to keep your checks dry on hot days.

if you want to be dry and comfy, wear lycra bicycle shorts with a polypro pad
under whatever "long pants" you are wearing while you ride. do NOT wear
cotton undies under them!
the polypro wicks the sweat away from the twig and berries while the lycra
keeps everything supported. they don't have seams in the wrong places to
chafe you.
baby wipes are nice to avoid skidmarks and monkey butt.
i like my flat corbin, but recovering the factory seat with denser foam and
perhaps a basketweave vinyl at a local upholstery shop is an option worth
considering... probably cheaper too.
remember that you don't have to ride a Norton Commando to "go
commando"... but the bike shorts are the comfiest thing while riding.
