Javier, as one who has gone through the whole range of back problems,
mainly from long distance running and triathlons etc. whatever the
actual problem is you need to strengthen your stomach muscles and
around. It's called core strength training. My back problems (and I
was diagnosed as having degenerative spinal column) have all but
gone . I strength train about three times a week, swim at least
twice and bike about 3 times a week. Having said all that, any ache
or pain I now get is when I ride and it varies slightly depending on
the bike I ride. You probably remember that I also have a gel pad I
sometimes use. You're right my corbin feels the same to me
regardless of time and I can go with or without the gel pad on the
CB750 NH. Have you started working out at all? If you have that
could be related to your back pain. If not - core strength training
Hombre!

As Allen said, I had a Corbin seat that it feels pretty much like
seating on a rock. I also tried seating on Graham's bike, and that
one is much softer. Both seats are Corbin, and they pretty much the
same, although the one on Graham's bike looks like a newer
generation. I wonder if the seat design has evolved with time and
they found a way to make it softer. I totally agree with Surfswab
about the shape. It is a bit wider, flatter, and perfectly shaped
for your butt. I had the same issue of constantly sliding forward
with the oem seat, and this was even worst while breaking. I love
the shape of the seat but for long riding is still too hard. I have
had mine for over 2 years and I ride a lot so I don't think it is
about breaking-in it. At the moment I am having serious back
problems while riding my NH, which I don't fully understand yet,
but it might be partially related with the seat being so hard.

I have a Corbin on my 2002 750NH and would buy it again. The shape is
perfect and it does get softer (broken-in) after 600 miles or so. I
also appreciated the 1/2-1" reduction in seat-height (I'm 5'7"). I
got lucky and found it new/unused on eBay for $150.
