Pics of the Corbin Dual Tour on my Fat Bob
Here are some pics of the Corbin Dual Tour seat that I got for the wife and I. I was a little concerned with getting this seat because of the research I had done and some of the negative comments that where stated about the comfort of the Corbin. Well, after getting it all of those worries were gone. I'm sure some of the thinner seats may feel that way but this seat is extremely comfortable whether it be short or long rides. I was, and still am, a fan of the stock seat for the Fat Bob which still goes back on during the solo rides. The stock seat is one of the most comfortable stock seats from Harley that I've been on and I never felt the need to change it other than get more comfort for the wife. She never complained about being on the stock seat even after a 12 hour ride with occasional stops but I new she'd be happier. We currently have over 7000 miles on our bike which has only been with us for four months and at least 60% of that has been two-up.
Going back to the Corbin though, I gotta tell you that it's even more comfortable than the stock seat. The support is perfect. We live about 2 1/2 hours away from the factory in Hollister, CA so it was easy enough to get down there and get it done exactly as we wanted which is a huge benefit. You get to pick out the type and color of the leather (seat area) and vinyl (sides) and the top stitching pattern if you so desire. They have a new vinyl that is called 'asphalt' which we got that perfectly compliments the blank wrinkle finish on the engine and other parts.
We tried every seat available for the bike from Harley but none compared to the finished product that we got from Corbin. Ultimately, the wife is happy and when the wife is happy you know what that usually makes us. I even changed out the backrest pad to another Harley one for more comfort and support. Wife specs = 5'7" 130lbs.
Okay......to the pics.

Gotta a question. I've got a corbin hollywood solo. Can't find a pad to work and sometimes need a two-up seat. Does the locking set-up work with all corbins so I cound switch out when needed. I've e-mailed corbin three times and they have never responed[:@]. Sorry don't mean to steal the thread.

RE: Pics of the Corbin Dual Tour on my Fat Bob
Thanks all for the comments. I do recommend the Corbin Dual Tour for any application based on comfort, support, and quality.
I'm a 100% sure they can. My set up is different in that mine is switched out with just the rear screw at the back of the seat. I did however watch them make a custom pan and seat that incorporated a lock set like the one you have into the seat of someone else's bike along with others. If your bike is capable of using the lock set up, and it obviously seems that way, then you are good to go. Call them instead of e-mailing.

Nice! I may look into that for myself.
I'm really enjoying seeing all the work that people are putting into their Fat Bobs.
That's one of the best parts of watching a new model/market evolve.
