If I lived where you do I'd make an appointment for a ride in custom fitting and have a custom dual-tour made for me. The way it is I just did 3200 miles in 10 days on my off the shelf Corbin dual-tour. Best seat I've ever had.

I did the ride in for my classic solo. Its a great fitting seat. I love the backrest. I still get a hot spot on each side at about 250 mile mark. I'm hoping to get zero hot spots.

Put 12,000 miles on a Corbin Sport Touring seat on my Yamaha Roadstar Warrior and it was a great seat. Did several 400+ mile day rides with no huge issues, but the small tank required a lot of fuel stops so always had lots of rest stops. I have 15,000 + miles on my current C&C and I know I can go further without needing some time off the saddle. My Corbin was not custom fitted and I am sure that would make a huge difference if you can visit them.

My *** loves the Corbin Dual Tour on my Road King. Best seat of the several I tried and I will never bother looking for a different seat again. It is good for long days in the saddle, 16-`18 hours and the next day no dread to get back in the saddle for more.

Been on Corbin's for 15 years - love them
I am convinced the bet/only way to buy a Corbin is to do the ride in app and have one made to YOUR butt at the holster Ca factory

As you well know - the best Corbin's are the ones built for YOU at the factory with you right there - work on the seat - you go for a test ride - more work on the seat - another test ride. This goes on all day until YOU say, it perfect. Then it gets covered and its done. All in a day. You end up with a seat built for YOUR butt.
Asking for a test ride - they may get one for you but keep in mind, it was not made for your butt
This is what makes it so hard for people out of state to get a GOOD Corbin seat. I am a 5' 6" rider and my custom Corbin is perfect for my short legs AND my back rest was also built to fit MY BACK.

As a side note, I showed them the 4 inch square crack in my seat pan on the left side and left with a brand new solo seat and cover free of charge. They did offer to let me test out a dual tour seat but I told them I would wait until I could take it for a 2-3 hour ride. No problem
