I'll try to keep this short, but I could easily write a book about it. I've had 3 back surgeries and could only ride on the factory seat for about an hour before It started aching. I heard so much about Corbin on this website, I thought I would check them out. After talking with them on the phone, they suggested I go directly to the factory for a custom fit(any excuse for a ride). So, I rode the 350 miles to Northern California(My back wasn't too happy). I arrived at Corbin @7:30am. Let me just say the place is very cool. From the showroom, to the warehouse and even the Cafe. The people were all very friendly and helpful. They start out by putting on a new corbin seat for the BA, this is without the leather. You ride it around and tell your personal tech where you want a bit shaved off here and there. You ride it again and keep repeating the process until it is perfect. Now the hard part. There are a ton of different leathers, styles and colors to choose from. It is very overwhelming. Your Tech will give you some ideas, but this is your baby and they will do whatever you want. I had about 20 different ideas and at the last second I scrapped all of them. They let me use their internet access and I found a copy of the Union Jack. The tech blew it up on a copier until we got the right size and he gave it to the upholsterer. Some of the end results are posted in my gallery. I'll put more in there in the next couple of days. Bottom Line: From the beautiful ride, excellent customer service, incredible craftmanship, having the owner(Mike Corbin) talk with me for about an hour, great burger at the cafe. The entire experience was more than I could've expected. If you have a chance to ride to N. Cal to get your seat DO IT!!! It is worth it!!! All the customizations done to my seat were at no additional charge. If you can dream it, they can do it.
Now if they would only giving me a free seat for this glowing testimonial.
P.S. My back hasn't hurt since I got the seat!!!
