Any Corbin seat experiences?
I have almost 100k on my Corbin Dual tour. My lovely bride has about half of those on the back half...
It was very stiff at first. Took a couple hundred miles to "break in". Her portion was the same way.
Once it form fit to my butt, it became the most comfortable seat I have ever had. (15 motorcycles or so...)
I have found that on long rides, softer seats lose their support and it feels like you are sitting on the rails. I never feel that with the Corbin. I have done several 500+ mile days, and have been ready to go the next day with no issue. With my Road King seat, I was a cripple the day after 500 mile day.

We are in Daytona on vacation and decided to stop at the shop. We originally thought they opened at 8:00 am but we arrived around 8:30 and found out they didn't open until 9:00. One of the reps ran out to the parking lot and told us he had come in early and that we were more than welcome to come in.
Long story short, I got a DualTour, driver backrest and a sissy bar pad to match! It's amazing the options that they offer for no extra charge. I got a truly custom seat made for me and the wife based on ourprefference in material, our size, weight, and @ss size for no additional cost!
The only thing that sucks is they are about 6 weeks out! Can't wait to get it so I can start the break in process!!

Ain't that the truth. Everyone I ever sat on was like a brick and butt ugly if you ask me. I've do e well with my stock RG seat and run it ten days straight 8-10 hours a day and I've had back surgery

Not the same thing but mine is an 04. 40 K on it. Never had any maintenance other then putting it in the sun when it gets wet. Finally wore thru the back leather edge beading finish from my gym bag. The velcro lids for the back rest look pretty rough. Sold both donut hole back rest on ebay for 1/2 of what I paid for the seat.
