Please get back and let us know how that works out for you. From reading the threads on this forum, it appears that with Corbin, like all other seats, both OEM and after-market, some love em' and some hate em'. Give us a report after a week or two, then after a thousand or two miles.
Before the Corbin I had the HD Hammock. The Hammock for me was a nogo, I would get butt burn after 40 miles. Have put 25,000+ miles on the Corbin Dual-Tour with zero issues. However, Corbin's are like Dale Earnhardt Sr. you either love um or hate um.
Here ya go man. Sorry the pics are less than ideal and I would swap them but have to leave on business trip shortly. The one on the left is stock and both are hanging out of the way. Your Corbin was much nicer than mine, at least in appearance but apparently many are. Picked mine up from a member here for a decent price. Best of luck and it's all good.
No, I went to Corbin in Hollister two years ago, for the dual-tour seat.
Loved my first Corbin, no brainer on the next I thought. Couldn't be more wrong. What a mess. Their service does suck and they don't stand by their by their product or commitment. They don't really care.
I'm having the whole thing re-done (down to the bare pan, which never fit the bike correctly (even after 2 attempts to correct)) by a leather artisan guy in PA. Corbin refused to replace it in spite of the obvious flaws and mistakes on their part. Too bad for me, 6 months later after sending it back multiple times. I actually don't think they did anything the second time.
Going there in-person should result in your satisfaction I would hope. Good Luck.
Not great pix, but gives an idea for the Hollywood Solo. Was worried when I first got it, it was hard as a rock. Love it now. I can ride all day no problem.
As others have said, Corbin customer service is the absolute worst. A few years back they sent me the completely wrong seat and refused to make it right. Had to get my bank involved. Never again for me
Well, google search "Corbin solo Harley Road King" and you'll get plenty of pictures.
if you're having it custom made I'd say focus on the foam and position. I've heard there are secret foam options. Make sure it puts you where you want on the bike. Once it's made, that's done.
ive a close solo and it's my #2 seat. It's definitely a close, but it puts me further back than the stock sea at. It's not anything like close.
the seat pan is a poor fit, and it rides on some buttons that are quite haphazardly positioned on the pan. The tongue required reworking in order to sorta fit the bike frame.
it is not an all day seat for me. After ~4-6 hours, my backside is starting to hurt. Partially because of seat shape, partially because it's carved from a stone. All in all, I'd grade mine a B.
That said, it sure is pretty! With the seat rail, they're even prettier, at least to my eye.

I have a Limited, but any pic is better than no pics. This will be my second trip to Corbin.
