Corbin?
I am pretty sold on buying a Corbin seat and maybe backrest. But Should I buy it at the local Shop or do you guys know were to find one for less. All I have found is retail price of around 500. I know the guy at the shop and he is buying this seat for around 215. That is a big markup anyway thanks for the help.

I have had several Corbin seats in the past and they were great performers. My advice is to not buy a seat without first sitting in it. At Daytona, they used to put it on and let you ride around to see if you liked or not.

I ordered a Corbin right before my ride to Daytona from NJ. The seat is great, for 2 hours. Wish I could have realized how narrow it would have been. And I got the removable backrest, it slides in crooked and makes my back ache because it makes me lean to the side. Thinking about calling them soon.

215...wow....I would be curious how he does that and you're right - that's a HUGE markup

I've been having a Corbin Solo w/backrest for quite awhile on my Sportster... not that impressed with the comfort of the seat, but I sure do like that backrest...
I got mine through the local H-D dealership for a little less that what the Corbin site was offering it for...
Got the wrong seat the first time... and they had to order another one... but at least I didn't have to deal with the returns or anything like that...
