refurbishing a Corbin seat for softail deluxe 2008
I'm 4'11" and \\;recently bought a 2008 Deluxe. I had the front end lowered by Harley because I could not reach the kickstand. \\; Harley also suggested I buy a reach/close seat however the Reach seat Harley makes was not going to do what I needed it to do. \\; So Harley ordered a custom seat for me according to my height and inseam.
After riding 3500 miles on the stock seat, I finally got the corbin seat this week and I'm not very happy with it. \\; It does put my feet closer to the ground but I feel like I'm on top of the handle bars now and I feel crowded with the feet positions.
 \\;
What I'm wondering is if Corbin does a good job- refurbishing seats. \\; I'm thinking of sending it back and asking them to remove 1/2" the back seat area. \\; Does anyone have awful stories of doing this?
 \\;
Any suggestions?

RE: refurbishing a Corbin seat for softail deluxe 2008
I've had 7 Corbins over the years, and their customer service has gone to hell in the last 24 months. \\; I contacted BITCHNSTICHN, and they said they would rework a Corbin. \\; I'm sure they'll be cheaper, and probably do a better job. \\; Here's their web site and phone. \\; dan@bitchnstichninc and phone is: .303.238.5404. \\; Hope this helps. \\; CCRyder

You need to check out Mean City Cycles web site to see what kinds of alterations they do, then give them a call. I can tell you from personal experience that they do a great job at a reasonable price. I've sent them two seats so far and couldn't be more pleased with the results and with their service.
