Don't know if you'd consider it "other" fabric but mine is ostrich print embossed vinyl.

Great seat and has held up extremely well.

Pics on the link below.

 

P.S. This is not your Grandpa's vinyl.

Whenever I think of vinyl the first thing that comes to my mind is the thin shiny stuff covering binders.

The stuff used on these seats is nothing like that. It's thick, durable and retains it shape.

It really is hard to tell that it's not a natural material.

 

Primo, thanks for the link. The ostrich is what I like.

 

SGDave, which seat is on your SG? I cant decided between the SportTour or the Fastback.......I spoke to Chuck yesterday and he didnt say anything about a "new" seat being added to their line......we need to see those pics of this new seat please!

 

Here is the pic you requested of C&C's new touring seat. Chuck emailed me this pic on Tuesday.

 

CB, that looks to me just like the SportTouring seat. Did Chuck share any info as to what this seat is like, size, etc that makes it diff than the SportTouring?

 

I just looked at the C&C site and that doesn't look like the sport tour to me.
I think my wife would love that new seat though...what's the new one called?

 

Its so new, he hasn't had a chance to put it on his website. I don't remember what the dimensions were. I believe, but don't quote me, it's about 2 to 3 inches more in diameter. The passenger seat appears much bigger which would keep mama very happy. But you'd have to call Chuck for the numbers. I'm planning on placing an order with him today.

 

Does anyone have any experience with the Gel Pad on a C&C?

 

I was just at the Corbin factory last Saturday. The wife and I both have Corbins, and we both had backrest issues. On hers, the cover shifted and exposed the raw material on the back, and on mine one of the screws holding on the back cover backed out - and the wind then tore off the back cover. Hers was made last Christmas, mine was about six years old and on it's third bike.

We called ahead and made an appointment. The lead technician looked them over, said he'd get them taken care of, and off to the restaurant we went. They replaced the back plate on mine, and made a completely new cover for the wife's. He said they had not done the first one correctly. No charge for either one. They were pretty busy Saturday, mot like December....

Corbin seats are great IF they fit, miserable if they don't. We have put Corbins on all 7 Harleys we've owned, and thoroughly enjoyed each one. Each was custom-made to fit our backsides.
