Corbin Seats

Does anybody have the Corbin seat? Photos, review? I live near the Corbin shop in Daytona and will check them out in March at Bike Week. Just too pricey to buy one sight unseen.

I've had Corbin seats on 3 of my Harleys so I do like them.

I picked up a Corbin seat myself and put it on yesterday. This is black leather, black sides, and orange logo and stitching. I had to use some nylon spacers for the latch to secure.

I installed a new Corbin seat a few days and have put a couple hundred miles on her. Now I was ok with the feel of the factory seat, or I at least adjusted to it. The Corbin is definitely different and maybe a bit more comfortable. It's feeling can vary depending on your seating position. I think I am happier with it....

Installing it was quite frustrating through. The mounting hinge was installed backwards by Corbin and had to be removed and reversed (easy to do, but annoying as hell that it had to be done). Plus the latch hooks had to be extended in order to engaged as well as the rubber bumpers had to be shaved down to get the seat to sit properly.

I think the gold thread goes well with the Fusion Yellow.

Ashveratu, if you have time to take more pics, I'm interested. I have the same color Livewire, and the saddle looks pretty sharp.
Thanks, Brad

As requested. The gold stitching on the seat does not stand out that well in photos. Only on the "Corbin" can you tell it's gold and in my opinion, goes well with the fusion yellow. My next choice would have been the medium silver thread.

Nice to see someone else with a red Tesla and a Livewire, impeccable taste!
