I hate my seat 2 Years, 9 Months ago  
I have a corbin seat on my R* and it sucks. I would like to find someone that could make it a pillow top. Does anyone know of a shop in the DFW area that does this kind of work?

Don't know how long you have had it Tone, but Corbin's take a few hundred miles to break in. They get more comfortable after that.

i have a saddleman profiler,had it for over a year and still has not broken in. where the fender mount is bolted the seat pan lumps up digs into your tailbone after 45 mins. or so

I put a Corbin Gel on my 72 rigid and it added at least 10 years to how long I will be able to keep riding it.

We have a member (Papa Bear) who rebuilds seats in Gainsville, FL.

Re:I hate my seat 2 Years, 9 Months ago  
I have the ultimate studded seat and back rests on my silverado
i could ride all week in that seat

i had a guy who has a road star with a mustang sit in it .....and said its night and day......the ultimate was much better

well worth the $900+ ......felt i coulod not go wrong...and my wife is tons more comfortable.....
IMO.....the pinacle !

Re:I hate my seat 2 Years, 9 Months ago  
I really dont want to spend hundreds of dollars on a new seat that I can't see before I buy it. The corbin pushes me too far forward and its hard as a rock. I've got about 3000 miles on it. I dad has a Venture and I love the pillow top.

I said a couple of posts back that one of our members alters seats to make them more comfortable. He is Papa Bear, he is in Gainsville, FL, and the company name is Butt Buffer, phone is 352-258-6034, web site is www.buttbuffernfl.com .

mean city cycles will redo the corbin seat. You'll have to contact them for pricing.
