    I bought this seat yesterday. Got black leather rider and passenger with no heat and the asphalt textured vinyl on the sides with no welts and the trunk, 1500 bux. Read all about corbin seats being firm, can be as firm as the stock saddle on my flstc, can it? LOL! Can't wait, its gonna be a long six weeks.

    I hope it doesn't disappoint you. They are firm, but when fitted properly, are a wonderful seat that will last for many years. All of mine for my bikes were whacked waaay down because I'm so short, but I think they fit great with no "hard spots". This is my fourth seat, all of them Hondas, three are still in residence. I've never had a company work with me so closely before as a regular part of what they do, but I have the occasion of living only 5 hours away from them and it's a great excuse for a scenic ride and a weekend get away.

    Thanks MSGT-R, I'm not sure, but my new seat might be exactly like yours, sorry? I stared at the pictures on the website long enough and fell in love with it. I ordered mine over the phone instead of going thru their website, really helpful people, glad I did it that way. They're going to shape the front of the saddle for me as I am inseam challenged also. I'm not afraid of a firm seat......bring it on, I think? LOL!

    That's the price you pay for a custom leather seat.

    1500 bux for the seat alone would be rediculous.......

    A Dual Tour seat with no heat or backrests is $597.

    For the Smuggler modular system:
    Front seat, no heat $289
    Back seat, no heat $289
    Smuggler trunk $799
    * Total* $1377

    ..and whatever shipping charges to your home.
    To add heat to the seat is $170 more - each.
    That's why it's $1500.

    If shipped to a California address, do you have to pay additional sales tax too?

    maybe its me i'v been riding over 45 yrs have owned over 30 motorcycles the F6B is the best stock seat I have ever had. I had mustang (which I really liked,) Corbin's, travelcade even the Ultimate. The only other stock seat I ever liked was a 1987 venture royal, this Wing seat lets me do 400 mile days with no problems. Not to knock the Corbin but I had 1 on my Valkryie an after 3000 miles sold it ( maybe I don't have a corbin butt) to hard ( num butt) an now you're telling me 15 large? I just might till I hit 100,000 on my F6B then think of replacing it.
