Default Finally, I went Corbin.

Finally, I went Corbin. This is my fourth seat for my Ultra. Spent all day Friday in Hollister. Had a blast at Corbin. My friend that came for the ride also ended up buy a new seat too. Corbin had a couple no-shows and they fit him right in. So far, this seat has been sweet. It definitely is firm but isn’t hard like other people have described. Went for a 200 mile ride today and it was nice. I need to do over 300 miles to make my final verdict.

I have had three HD's and all have gotten the Corbin (ride in appoitment) Love it - I have steered people there - NOT mail order but to do a "ride in appoitment" I found the Customer service to be great - are they still buying breakfast as you wait and allow a self guided tour??

You will love your new seat. I put the dual tour on my R.K. and I am truely amazed. I always got lower back pain after about 100 miles on the stock seat, and I put 300 miles on the other day only stopping for fuel and got off and my back felt like a million dollars, no bull. I wouldnt believe it if I didnt feel it for myself. Im deffinately sold, and will buy nothing but Corbin seats from this day forward.

Corbin is a fine choice!
I had a Corbin seat on my 1990 FLHS, Electra Glide Sport.
Very comfortable.
And a very easy Company to work with, they didn't mind the special order at all.

No doubt, Corbin has great customer service. They do give you two free meal tickets.
Corbin’s seats do rock, all you guys know what I’m saying. I don’t know why it took me so long to get one. I live only 70 miles away in Fremont. Why did it take me to many years…????

If they would only E-Mail me back they might have a sale. 5 E-Mails no response, now that's customer service.

Default RE: Finally, I went Corbin.

True story...a friend of mine (Skip) was trying to get a quote on on having his 10 year old seat recovered. Since the seat is so old and uncommon (RF900R sport bike) and they don't stock the material anymore, they wont give a quote over the phone but say it wont be over like 300 bucks. So just when Skip is ready to hand the thing over, the sales guy drops the ball and stops answering his email. A month or so go by. Finally Skip gets guys attention,dude gives him some excuse about his email being messed up and sez send the thing in well pay for the shipping and do the job for a reduced fee. Skip gets the seat back, it looks awesome and it's all leather this time instead of that "Pleather" stuff he used to have. When Skip looks at the bill it sez 300 bucks or something AND at the bottom "Paid in full--sorry for the trouble Skip, enjoy". Now thats a nice recovery. Obviously Skip is all happy. I was just impressed they did it all for free.....cool
