Corbin seat
I need some opinions here before I spend some $$..My 29 year old seat needs replacing and I like the look of the Corbin solo gunfighter but I'm wondering if the new lower seat height will make going on longer rides way too uncomfortable to be worth it..I'm 6'02" and have a 36" inseam so there's not a ton of room there now with the stock seat. I can get the old seat rebuilt but I'd like to add the Corbin if it will work..any input from my long legged brothers?

I guess what I'm really asking is about the lowered seat height, not so much the manufacturer..I like the gunfighter style no matter who makes it but don't want to spend several hundred dollars for something made specifically for my bike that will be difficult to re-sell if I don't like it

You asked....
I don't like Corbin one bit.

POS in my opinion.
I have owned 3 of them, they are to hard, don't ever conform to your personal touch an create sores.
I liked Russel seats, and now the two sons have split and Bill runs his shop in Shasta Lake City Northern California, and his brother Rick has dad's named seat "Russel".
The Russel is a winged seat, the Bill is not as much, although both make the best seats available.
I also have Ultimate seats, Mustang seats and Sergeant seats.

BMS (Bill Mayer Seat) is the best so far.
