Bad for you. My luck was better. My first call I disconnected by accident. They wouldn't pick up after 3 repeated call backs. Used the work phone and got thru to a pleasant gal. Shipped right out in a week. Just the way I wanted it. The rest is a different story. La Rosa black distressed leather bag. A couple days in the sun, Brown. V$H slip-ons, 2 nuts didn't fit the supplied bolts. Kuryakyn extended reach brake pedal, same as stock. Seems like nobody really gives a dog pile any more.

albeit the flame allows air to flow under your tush therefor lowering your saddle temp. No more frumunder cheese.
thats what i tell myself. it looked better on the web site.

I have a Corbin that I bought secondhand, so I have no dealings with them. How they treated you is UN-BE-LIEVABLE!! Hope the bank makes you whole

Ditto - no problems with the actual product from my end. Ordered mine through my Stealer here in the UK - the first seat came wrong, but my Stealer sorted it all out on my behalf, just had to wait a bit longer for my very expensive seat.

Keep the seat.
Mess them around as hard as they slapped you in the face.
I was in the market for a new seat and was interested in a Corbin.
There's no way on earth I'd buy from a company that deals with customers like that. I am disgusted.

sit on this
I had the same experience as Izzyryder. Told them no stitching twice and seat arrived with the flying wheel and flames. Got zero reply by email and a tough $hit by phone. These morons are out of control. I've had 4 different seats by them but this is the last for sure.

I was screwed over buy Corbin more than 20 years ago. I bought a used Beemer in the early 90s that had a Corbin seat on it. I figured a matching tank cover would look good with it so I ordered one from Corbin. When it arrived, the hole was way too small for the gas cap to fit through.
They had obviously made a mistake when making the tank cover, so I sent it back. This was before email and the world wide web, so most everything was done by mail (long distance phone calls were expensive back them too).
After waiting a month or two, I finally called to find out where my replacement tank cover was. They pretended like they didn't know what I was talking about and said they never received or authorized a return. I didn't insure the package when I sent it via USPS - didn't know any better back then, so I never did get my new tank cover or money back.

I've read so many bad things about Corbin customer service, as much as I wanted to try one of their seats, I decided not to risk the aggravation. Instead, I bought an Ultimate seat for my Fatboy. Just did a 6-hour ride and was surprised how comfortable it was. It is big and fat, though. But no soreness after the ride, either. I would have been in serious discomfort with the stock seat after 2 to 3 hours.
