Has anyone had a Corbin seat made customized to match the bike? Their Web site shows different kinds of leathers, vinyls, colors, and designs that can be added to the seat per your request. I am thinking of getting one, based upon all the good review from members of this site. Any pics would be appreciated.

I can recall someone having a flag put on, who it was I cannot remember.

I heard that they won't do the union jack flag anymore, and I'm pissed cause I had thought of that a long time ago and now that I'm finally in the market, I heard it, ya know? They do studs, flame stitching, etc, all at no charge aparently.

Charlie, corbin does do custom work. I just had a seat made this past winter and it turned out great. Not only were they easy to work with but they had it done in three weeks. I emailed an image of what I wanted on the seat and they called to confirm some last minute things before work got started on it.

Here's a pic of my seat.

That's a nice looking seat wojo. I would constantly worry about the deer munching on my boys while riding though.

Wojo,
Nice job, looks real good. How did they make the deer? It doesnt look like stitching. Did they charge much more? By the way Dinqua, deer are more selective, they wont eat "old" nuts!!!

Charlie. No the back is in red leather and then they cut the image out of the black leather and put the two together.

And they may be 'older' nuts but they are fresh...uunnhh, never mind.

Thanks Tinman, I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Corbin was very easy to work with except for the fact that they don't ship to Canada. For that I have Phil (Bonnyusa) to thank for that.

Nope, although now that you mention it it does look like it quite a bit doesn't it? I found a picture of a stag on the net and then did some artsy fartsy stuff of my own on it to give it that two tone look. The reason I have it is my last name in Polish is derived from a warriors name which translated into 'Warrior of Joy' symblolized by a red stag.
