Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Problems with Corbin

Finally putting an end to my Corbin nightmare, to bring everyone up to speed:
It has been 5 months, 3 saddles/3 returns, 27 e-mails, numerous phone calls, and Zero joy getting this right.

All I asked for was a chrome rear tab (like stock) and a little shaved off the nose to fit the tank bra.

First one didn't fit at all- they called it a "warped seat pan" (no chrome tab)
Second one same issues just a little less-not warped, but wouldn't fit no matter what. (still no chrome tab)
Third was actually the second back again...they took it to a triumph dealer, put it on a 09 America and it "magically" fit. so the put it back in the box and sent it back.
Now note that they didn't fit it with the tank bra as requested and you guessed it...still no chrome tab.
So I called today ****** bent on getting this fixed and poor Vincent flipped his lid basically trying to make this all my fault.
It all ended with Vincent claiming I was being "abusive" on the phone. (I wasn't aware that asking someone to do what they promised was considered "abusive"...I was quite nice about it I thought)
But in the end...sending the seat back for full refund.
Shame...I really liked it when it fit without the tank bra, but they couldn't get it all together in one box.
And then I just couldn't take Corbin blaming anyone else they could find to make it someone else's fault...very ugly.

Any used ones I may be interested, maybe after some therapy (aka: Scotch) I will try again through California showroom...but wow...what a mess this has been.
