Sharp seat...I find that seats are the hardest thing to buy for a bike...Im torn between the Dual Tour and a Russel Day long...I want to keep as close to the same seat height as i can though..Will a new seat help if i keep the same height?

I had a Corbin dual tour on my 97 Electra king and it was the best seat I've ever had! I was in love and never thought I'd buy from another company.
So I bought a new dual tour seat for my 2011 road glide and it sucks! I've sent it back to be recovered three times due to leather failure. I have to give Corbin credit, they replaced the leather at no charge each time but come on, 3 times in 12 months??
This new dual tour doesn't fit me. I'm 6'2 250 and the seat hurts to sit on. It puts me too low and its not wide enough.

Love both my Corbin seats that I have both bikes. It's better to go down there if you can and get the same seat that you would normally buy on-line, but they will make it custom for the same price. You can do anything to the seat including color, stitching and piping. Here is a picture of the seat they made for my bike 2 months ago. They also modified the backrest to match for another $150 which included adding foam and reshaping to my wife's specifications. Once broken in, they are the most comfortable seat I have ever own. I have over 60K on the RK seat. I have tried HD, La Pera, Mustang and IMHO Corbin is the best.

I wore out a Corbin dual tour, after about six years and 80k miles. I had a Corbin solo and pillion for my current bike, but took it off when I changed gas tanks. The solo and dual tour seats feel very similar for the driver. I've got a LePera on my bike now, but will have my Corbin reshaped to fit my Yaffe tank.

Corbin Hollywood
I've just recently put my Corbin Hollywood Solo on and it's more comfortable than the stock touring seat. I've went on several long rides with no discomfort. I'll always start with Corbin in the future when replacing the seat.

I have been riding Corbin seats since 1995. When I got the new Limited I was determined to like the factory seat, and I tried. However, after a 500 mile trip to Las Vegas and Laughlin for the River Run, I went straight to the Corbin booth at the rally and got a new Corbin to ride home. Wife got one for her tri-glide also.
