I saw this topic covered a bit ago (2003) and thought it was time to revive it. I am riding on a Corbin (>15,000 miles) and it is very comfortable. However, it is also significantly wider than the stock seat so that the bike feels even taller for me (6'0"/28.3cm tall with a 36"/14.2cm inseam). Around town it gets a little tiring standing at lights on my tiptoes.
Does anyone have any comparative experience between the Triumph gel seat and the Corbin. I figure the Triumph seat has the benefits of being narrower and height adjustable (something the Corbin is not). So would I be giving up comfort on long rides for around town flexibility? I suppose I could shift back and forth as the seats are easy to change. I could also sell the Corbin (anyone interested
).
Finally, another approach would be to do the lowering thing that has been discussed many places. I am a little nervous doing that as I really like the clearance and cutting and welding the stands make it a one way modification.
Thoughts?

P.S. One other thought I just had is that I should put the original seat back on just for a quick ride to see if I do feel like I have more control around town. I will let you know how that goes.
