I'm jealous .... I want one for the Trike.  Had I seen that one, you might not have it. 

 

Love the one on my 1200.

I was just at the Corbin company shop in Hollister Saturday.. You can ride your bike there in the morning and ride out at noon with a custom crafted new seat.............

The 2000, 1500 that i rode to Arkansas from Wisconsin had a Corbin seat on it. I hated it. Like sitting on a rock. Just my opinion. My wife complained that she kept sliding ahead because of the shape of the seat. Not for us!

I think the seat is not for everyone, on the other bike I rode about 25k miles on it and loved the seat. Have not heard too many couples like the seat. It was a sweet deal and could not pass it up, plus I really wanted a corbin and lots better than paying full $$ :banana:

I found out on my visit to the Corbin store, if you are ever in Hollister CA with your bike they will custom fit the seat to your butt while you wait.. They said it takes about 4/5 hours.......

On the VStar 1100 that I had, we went to Holister and they fitted my seat and one for hubbies bike in about that time. Took it ot and rode them came back and they adjusted right them. Got the tour of the factory and watched them make the whole thing.

At approx $1000 per pop, I'd be wining and dining customers too...

Wonderful seats... way too expensive to put on a bike I paid 5K for.
