Hi
I have a Corbin two up on my 03 Wideglide and keep sliding forward on the seat. I would also like to lower it as much as possible in order for my wife to ride it also. Can you do anything with this seat?

I still have the origional 03 Ann. seat. I would like to modify that one or do you think it would be wise to keep that seat stock and find a regular seat to modify. Would the changes to the  seat be very noticable? I really don't need to move back just as low as possible and still be comfortable for a 300 mi. per day putt. I'm 5-10 @ 230lbs and my wife is 5-3 2 135 and had no problems riding her 79 lowrider with kicked back shocks.

Long story short and there are multiple answers but the main reason is they just don't work every good with memory foam.

If it were me and I had a 03, I would keep the ann. seat stock and pick up a used comfort stitch personally.  That way if you ever decided to sell the bike, the ann. seat would be stock but the comfort stitch would be fitted to you and you wouldn't run the risk on the seat not fitting the buyer.  The seats for the most part look stock appearing but if you were to put a modified seat beside a stock seat, you can definitely see the differances in the two.

Thaks,
Allen

Sounds great. Just be sure to fill out the Modification order form and send it with the seat.

Hi,
I took your advise and called corbin. during the conversation I learned something. They do not warrenty anything unless bought from their store. ( I guess they are trying to kill their dealer network.) I, like most of us are trying to save some bucks, so I bought from an out of state dealer to save the sales tax and get free shipping on high dollar orders. Here is the catch according to corbin"s Florida store: "corbin warrenties are only for the original owner.  Which they say is the dealer, not you or me. so in order to get my seat fixed it must first go to the selling dealer, then corbin. Then if in corbin's opinion the seat needs to be recovered that's another $240.00. So if you don't buy from corbin direct as I did with my first seat back in 1995 you have been had. I have bought my last seat from them. I would rather have Allen do his majic on a much cheaper seat
