Default Corbin Problems

Has anyone else hard any issues with Corbin lately? This is my second Corbin seat and first experience was great. Ordered a seat for my FLHTK three months ago and so far have made three calls to them and have been given three bull### answers, have been told twice that it was shipping, and then again today told it will ship Friday. They charged my credit card over ten days ago, just wondering if I have reason to be concerned.

I have heard more complaints about them in the past 2 years than before...I wouldn't buy from them....Plus to me their seats are too hard...

Sadly Corbin is no longer the company that Mike Corbin built. I went with C&C for my StreetGlide when Corbin could not "accept my special modifications". C&C did just fine and makes just as good if not better saddle. Call them, their website sucks (and they are fixing it).

I have also been having issues with Corbin. You're right that Corbin is no longer the company that Mike Corbin built. So I ask, just in case, who is C&C and do you have a web site address (or 800 Number) for them? Thanks.

Finally got the seat yesterday, and though I am really disappointed at the service, it looks great. Will see if I still feel the same way after a few thousand miles

what's up with all the wrinkles in the leather, looks like the quality has gone downhill!
