Any photos I can find for the Corbin DR650 saddle look like they use vinyl now. Mine is leather and where the nose angles up sharply for the aftermarket tank there is a sewn seam. Next year I plan to put the stock tank and saddle back on. My long ride days are over so I don't need the extra fuel capacity. The stock seat was a torture device after a couple of hundred miles to the Corbin wasn't that much better.
