RE: Corbin Rocker solo #1
Like I said, I'm not a big fan of Corbin's seats either. I've always seen them as little more than way overpriced rocks. But I have to confess that this seat does look a bit better than what they normally put out. And it does have a comfort factor usually absent from their seats. This is also their first one after the prototype. Time will tell if they can improvie on the design and appeal to more of the masses.
In any case, I just wanted to give everyone some idea of what these seats were looking like. The website photos at Corbin are really bad. Seeing the real thing gives you a better idea if its for you or provides confirmation that it isn't.
I think there just isn't a lot of options for nice looking seat for the Rocker. Sure you can spend big money (more than the cost of a Corbin seat) and put a Heartland kit or similar on there but then you have taken away the Rocker's namesake identity and turned it into a Deuce. Once you go that route you have to ask yourself why you chose the Rocker as your canvas in the first place if your endstate so closely resembles every other Softail out there with a skinny OCC-ish fender and flat seat. That look can be had from just about any year or model FX-based Softail for a lot less $$$. All the responses to this thread emphasize the individuality of Harley owners and their ideas of what they like and what they think looks good.
