"its far more firm than what I am accustomed to, but not uncomfortable"
Give it about 1000 - 1500 miles and it will feel nice... Corbin's are notoriously firm until broken in.

For the time being I'll use it with the bags unmounted, but for the future I'd like to eliminate the fender and attach a brake light/tag to it. I think that would look killer.
The lettering on the back is silver leaf to match the side covers with a small grey outline that has about 1/8th" of spacing inbetween, like the stock seat.

Dam, that looks so much sweeter than when I saw it in opal and tang at Cycle Parts. I'm jealous now, seeing it in black. You got one hella deal. More pics mounted, please.

Looks nice. Getting a Corbin was the best move I ever made. All day comfort.
