I rode in there as well and originally bought a "gun fighter" seat that ended up being SO skinny that it showed all the wear marks on my tank and under seat fenders (I have pics of this too).
I rode to San Fran afterwards and after noticing this rode back to the factory and promptly exchanged it. They actually built a FULLY custom touring seat just for me, laid new fiber glass to their existing mold and all. They even shaped the back end to look "stock" appearing. I was originally not happy at all but after waiting 3 weeks for my custom seat to arrive Im finally pleased.
I would NOT recommend the gun fighter seat thats for damn sure. The dual touring looking seat CAN be shaped to look like a factory seat if you ask.

Whatever you do, do NOT get a seat from CORBIN.
Unless of course you like the following:
- 2 month wait for a standard seat
- Incorrect seat after 2 month wait.
- 2 month wait again (still waiting)
- Inability to properly process their own documentation to produce a seat.
- Terrible customer service (have never witnessed such a lack in all my business dealings)
- Refusal of refunds for their mistake
They may have been around a while but trust me, not worth the aggravation. Many other quality suppliers out there. I think Corbin feels their s..t doesn't stink.
IMHO......👌

I made an appointment on Monday (3/16) to go down Wednesday (3/18) at Corbin's in Hollister, CA. Made the two hour journey and got there at 8:30am.
They were fantastic - and Mike Corbin (the original wizard) gave me a tour of his entire facility. The seat was spot on. My 1st seat I purchased there 8 years before and put 100,000 miles on that one. Mike was/is a hellva guy.
I tell everyone - don't order it - go there. Getting it made on-site is the ONLY way to go. I've never ordered it on-line. They customize every seat on-site to your personal specifications.

I went into the Ormond Beach/Daytona store just over a week ago. One of the sales guys who was manning a phone was very unhelpful and uninterested even though I had the cash for a seat. Luckily another guy who was walking the floor was extremely helpful and went out of his way to sort me out with a Hollywood Solo for my SG. He had even offered to get me a seat shipped over quickly from CA. It just shows it can be down to individuals who either promote the business or do the opposite.

Installed a Corbin dual tour on my last bike, a 07 CVO Glide. Good quality construction and style, just too hard for my taste. Went with a HD Hammock on my new Limited. Much more comfortable. Might be my age, lol....everyone is different.

I've never had a problem, happily riding 4 seats, plus backrests and pillions.
One of them, put so many miles on it, wore through the leather. Had them re-cover/re-foam it, and went smoothly.
Newest seat, went heated and had a question on the electrical. When I called, my call was transferred to a tech right away who answered my questions fine.
I won't give it a second thought when I get future seats from them.
