    Here is my new corbin seat and notice the quality control on the hardware?



    Unfortunately the folks putting it together decided to reverse the locking ring on the rear of the saddle. How nice of them. Other than that the saddle is great!!

    Funny you should mention "quality", Robert. I've got a Corbin on my SV650, which is wonderfully better than the stocker, and it actually looks good from the outside. But I was a lot less than impressed with the fit of the brackets, and the assembly in general. It wouldn't have bothered me so much if it was half the cost. But, it does work well.

    BTW, if the locking ring is in the picture, NCB isn't the only one needing new glasses...

    Wish you fellers had read my monologue on Corbin.
    It is the worst company that I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
    I think that is one of the values of these internet forums, to be able to find the knowledge of possible problems with merchandise, or venders that you may consider before pony'n' up your hard earned $$$.
    Good Luck.

    There is two bolts on the bottom I fixed thje issue myself. The seat needed some wiggling to get it to lock and my seat cowl will have to wait for the bike to fit a bit better.

    I am not knowing the quality of the Job, the seat looks and feels great. My rear is sore from a hellish trip back from LA 2 days ago and riding with the corbin does not put pressure in the same places. I need to take it out for a few hours and ride slab to figure out if it is the seat for me.

    Side note, I asked for no seams and seams came back to me, their QI department is lacking.

    I went with Corbin simply because my wife wanted the backrest when were riding 2 up.
