However, I've been reading about the lack of customer service. I called to get some leather sample to decide which 1 to get. They never even sent them to me. I called down to Florida and they did send me some samples. So are the new seats and is the after sale service that bad? Driving to do a ride in is not an option. wish I was closer to them.
I guess my butt likes hard seats. Read a lot about C&C seats but unsure about the comfort. I had a mustang before it seemed to be an hour before I'd start squirming around to be comfortable. I'd like to set back about an inch or so from stock and don't want to be raised up any. I need to be able to use a back rest on long rides.
Any seats compare to the Corbins for all day comfort and decent looks?
Thanks for the replies.

I ordered a seat for premium price.

I called & the Rep said, "don't worry it'll break in, if you have trouble just call us in a few months".

It didn't get better, and I did call.

At which point they said "too late"..... I said; "wait, your Guy said to give it some time"...

not long after that the seat covering started cracking- they denied a repair claim saying it was 'sun exposure'- well the only time it is in the sun, it is shaded by my rear.
...less than a year old.

so pretty poor experience with the product- and even worse with their Reps or policies.

I did write Mike Corbin when he was still heading the company, promising that I would never miss a chance to share my experience with Corbin- I was hoping that it would have a happy ending, but no.


I put Corbin in the category of a company maybe better at sales than seat building and aftercare

I am not overly demanding, at present i use a HD Brawler as solo seat, it is mostly for around town. i use a 09 FLHX seat for day rides and an Ultra seat when touring.
...and it just now occurs to me that the cost of all 3 seats ( 2 + the stock) is less than 1/2 what the Corbin cost me.

We know that vendors do watch Forums for Customer Feedback...Corbin, you can PM me if you'd like to offer a solution.
I be happy to post that after years of neglect, a vendor has stood up and remedied a problem
