Who's bike is that on the Corbin site?

The seat looks better than I thought it would. That bike looks damn good for a 'basket case'

We're getting there

One more first rate product for our cause. Thanks to you and Greg for making it work. You deserve the comp'ed seat. Glad they used a 2nd bike for comparative fitment this time

gnarlycharlie4u · « **Reply #8 on:** June 11, 2011, 08:08:27 PM »

oh that looks mighty comfy. perhaps a bit TOO comfy for my 750. it'd be perfect on the goldwing though

zoo mob · « **Reply #9 on:** June 11, 2011, 09:13:46 PM »

I'm not impressed with the bike on the site, blegh. I suppose it doesn't matter for me anyways as none of the aftermarket parts seem to be for the K0.

KeithB · « **Reply #10 on:** June 12, 2011, 04:15:17 AM »

Overall, it looks pretty good.
Just not sure about how far up the tank it goes.
Needs to be trimmed down a bit and work better with the lines of the tank.

That's my bike

Just took some pictures today of the seat and I will post them here later. The leather is real nice, and the fit to bike is perfect, very solid. Talked to the (very nice) guy who made the mold. He is a real craftsman! I will be going back to them again tomorrow to have a seat for my 83 Katana done as well. Thinking about all black leather as well since I liked it so much. (they call it Mercedes leather)

It is actually very nice in person. I really liked it and would *not* want it any lower. For those that prefer different leather/stitching ....well Corbin has many choices for you

Thank you Greg for coming through with this for our old bikes. It is the nicest looking part on my bike now

So how much does this seat set you back? I am not sure I would want this over the Guiliari replica.

domer · « **Reply #14 on:** September 25, 2011, 08:55:50 AM »

$325.

nccb · « **Reply #15 on:** September 25, 2011, 08:57:37 AM »

damn that seat is nice but freakin pricey. Its pretty similar to the one I like from dime city cycles. . .and just as pricey.

domer · « **Reply #16 on:** September 25, 2011, 09:13:04 AM »

except the dime city seat is a "universal fit", and being covered and complete, you arent left with much room for modification. i would thank attaching it might be fun! the corbin on the other hand is bolt on, ready to go and designed for the 750. I love it... too bad it looks like im gonna have to sell the above bike

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #17 on:** September 25, 2011, 09:41:17 AM »

$325 is a really good price for a high quality Corbin seat. Just depends on your bike and what you wish to invest. I wouldn't want to invest that if my bike wasn't worth much unless it was part of a plan to bring my bike up to standards.

Does the seat still flip up? Can you post the underside?
Thanks

Duke McDukiedook · « **Reply #19 on:** September 25, 2011, 03:57:45 PM »

You can look for yourself on their website.

bender01 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 25, 2011, 04:50:12 PM »

Corbins pics are terrible, But yes it does flip up.
Thanks

mrbreeze · « **Reply #21 on:** October 11, 2011, 09:37:48 PM »

I really like the new Corbin seat. I went there a few years back and had them make me a custom seat with my OEM pan. I like the comfort but it's kinda clunky looking. It's a 2 up seat so I will hang on to it as I can swap it out real quick. Just bought a 16" wheel from Somesuch (Nick) and I think the new seat will look good with that wheel and my drop shocks. Just went out & tried to snap pics but low batteries!!!

.....Nick told me he has 2 bikes hanging out at Corbins....

..................I'll try to get more recent pics tomorrow after a trip to the camera battery store!!!

It uses OEM hardware, so it functions the same as OEM. The fit on my bike is better than stock....by a lot, much more solid feel.

On another bike I also have a Corbin seat, and last Sunday after the full day on a bike, I was the only one in our group ready for more riding. Everybody else had OEM seats and they were pretty much done, and ready to go home by 5:30pm or so. When I suggested we do some more riding they pointed to my seat and said that their seats are not Corbin, hence the need to go home now....

very happy and comfortable.

Yup, I ended up with this bike, and I fully expect to be able to pull 250 days with ease. The difference between this Corbin and the stock seat on my 500/4 is tremendous.

It was good to meet you guys, I should be done with my '72 pretty soon here (another one, not the gold one you saw

) and we should go for a ride to Alice's Last Sunday we had a great day riding! I hope to clean up the garage soon to, and may be I'll be able to bring some of the bikes home
