Corbin Seat, or Stock

Post by STN »

Which one do you guys think would create less wind resistance the stock seats, or an aftermarket Corbin. On an FZR6R.

Corbin is about 3x's heavier

So I think that helps make the choice, also the corbin is larger

the only benefit would be the shape which is slightly more diagonal

So how much is a corbin seat for an fzr worth? In other news for racing, I just got my EBC SRK racing clutch. And tomorrow I'm grabbing the forksprings, and the emulators.

Neither one unless there is no rider on them. The rider will create more wind resistance than the seat ever will.

The weight is the larger issue. Reduce as much weight as you can. Do you have a fiberglass tail on the FZR?

I think I had an Airtech TZ250 tail in the image below:
