Corbin Seat's Beware

RE: Corbin Seat's Beware
First off i will say i have had three Corbin Seats. The first two were PERFECT.
Therefore i ordered one for my 08 UC. When it got here i could not beliove it. Looked likea banana seat off a 70's Schwinn. Very narrow, set further back and wife's perch was extremely tight with the backrest on. The bottom side of the seat rested on the bolts for the saddle bag guard rails. In 5 miles it had rubbed holes on the bottom sides and tore the leather.
After a month of discussion with Corbin they done the right thing and accepted the seat for return. All though it took me anohter month to get the CC credited.
I think they just missed the boat with the design of this seat. I would be interested in any one else who has put a Corbin on an 08 UC.
I will say that Allen at Mean City Cycles can do anything you want to a seat. Give him a call and tell him what you want. He made my factory seat into a perfect ride.....

All the Corbin bashing but knowbody mentions the good things Corbin does do.When new models of bikes come out they needs bikes to use as a template so to speak for fitting purposes. Every year when the brand new models come out they offer to make someone a brand new seat of their choice just for letting them use your bike to make some molds.If you are in Cali when the new models come out in August you can check their site and if trhey haven't had someone bring that year and model in yet you can ride away with a Brand new saddle " of your choice at no cost" Now i would say that is pretty good Customer service.

to say that Corbin sucks.
Customer Service helped me out several times, and I really
love my Corbin saddle.
You can't blame Corbin for having short legs or a bike that's too high.
IMHO you should try before you buy.
