I have a C&C a sport Tour, sits you back 2"....but also down an inch or so. But........
You aren't going to find a better opportunity than this right here from RGU ^. This seat has been custom built for someone with your size in mind.

You two should talk!

I'm a big Corbin fan and I've had a lot of different seats.

I had a Corbin, it does move you down and back. I am one of those hate 'em people. Very hard and caused unbearable sit bone pain.

It sounds from all you guys that Corbin has a pretty good product. Nothing like happy customers. I'm in the middle of having a custom paint done, and new 80 straight spoke 16.5" and 21" wheels, and to be honest the OEM HD seat is going to look somewhat cheezzie once the bike is done.

Kind of funny. I said to my wife that I wanted a one of a kind custom paint and some new rims, and trash the OEM saddle bags for hard ones.

She says to me............
Get this "I thought you would just go and buy a new bike"



Frick.... duh and what do I do.... take a pass and do my retro on my bike. I don't really know if that was smart or just plain dumb. LOL

I had always planned to send my seat to Mean City. Found a local upholstery guy, from CA, that specializes in old hot rods. He has done MC seats as well and was familiar with the Corbin folks and the differences in MC seats. I like the idea of being able to do it locally without shipping the seat back and forth to get it right. I'm going to give him a try and see what happens.

+ 1 on the Corbin Dual tour. I scored one on ebay a year and a half ago and have never looked back.
