Finally got my new Corbin

I know, I know.  It's not what most on here like but I love this bike too.  Just got the Corbin Dual Tour and Kuryakyn Swing Wings on so the little lady can do some distance now.  Had to share.

How is the fit and workmanship on that seat?  Corbin has been getting a lot of mixed reviews lately.  I have on my R100GS, and it is great, but it is 14 years old now.

The fit was perfect.  Slide right on with absolutely no problems.  Workmanship on the seat seems to be top notch but I was a bit excited (wife called me a kid at christmas) so I wasn't looking for problems. 

One thing I did notice is that the very rear of the seat bunches up slightly when you put the back rest in.  Wasn't expecting that.  There are also 1 or 2 spots where there are lines under the leather (like boxers under leather pants).  Hoping that settles out with a little wear.  Planning on taking a more critical eye to the seat and sending in pictures to see if they say it's normal or a defect.

Thanks.  As I said, mine has been excellent, and I'd like to see them keep doing well because I might want to go to them again sometime.

I think it looks good. Works well with the lines of the bike.  :)
