Default Corbin dual tour question?

Does anyone have any info about how the Corbin Dual Tour seat sets up for a tall rider on a 2007 Ultra Classic?
I've tried email, no response after four attempts and telephone calls the customer service rep
was a turnip I believe.
1. How is the Dual Tour compared to the stock seat on an 07 Ultra.
2. How does the seat position compare to a HD Tallboy seat which moves you 2 inches back.
I have the Tallboy now and it's still not that comfortable on long rides.
I've tried the Saddleman Road Sofa and sent it back, so now it's down to Corbin or C&C Cycle Seats.
I know Corbin is hard, which I prefer and I know their Customer Service sucks but there is no way I can go to there shop from New England for a seat.

Thanks,
Charlie

I have the Corbin dual seat, it will move you back. The seat is better than stock but not all I hoped it would be; definatley not worth the high price. When the time comes to replace (I'm too cheap to not use what I have paid for) the corbin I will send my stock seat to a custom seat builder and have it st up to my specs. Turns out most of the custom seat buliders charge less than what a new Corbin cost me.

It's a great seat. I've had 6-7 now, and I love them, but their customer service sucks, and has gone to hell in the last two years. I had the same problem contacting them, and then just said "screw it", and handled it myself. But I do like their seats! What a shame this has to happen to Co's. that grow faster than they can keep up with. Back in the day...... Oh, that's history now. FA GET ABOUT IT....

I just put the detachable tour pak kit on and definitely want to go with a different seat.
So the Corbin will put me 2" down and 2 back that should work.
Mackcr I sent you an email let me known if your interested.

I have an '05 FLHRCI with the detachable RKC Tour Pak. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Corbin Dual Tour 'Close' heated seat. Why did the Tour Pak make you want to/need to go with a different seat?

Because the Tallboy seat is so high off the rear fender, I think it looks funny w/o the tour pak on.
