Corbin seat
« on: December 17, 2014, 04:57:45 PM »

Just bought a 2014 cvo road king and do not like the seat thinking of trying a corbin solo close, has anyone had any experience with this seat?? any and all comments appreciated.Also is there any convenient place for the battery tender hookup? hate to keep pulling the side cover off.

I had Corbin build a dual tour close and the wife and I love it. Much more comfortable and I was able to roll the bars a little forward which is much more comfortable for me. We can do 8 hour days without a problem. The only thing I don't like is the rider backrest it too thick to use when she is on the bike. When they do the backrest it is about 2 inches thicker than a standard to make up for your new position. I kind of like her snuggled up against my back though! As far as the lead for the battery tender I have mine coming out over the transmission under the seat right above the starter and just tuck it back up in once unplugged.

I have a Corbin solo with backrest. The seat is very comfortable but the backrest sucks. you can only adjust it forward or backward and when you do the angle changes and digs into your back. I took my Mustang backrest and made a tongue  to weld to the Mustang tongue   and slide into the Corbin. Works great as it moves with you. Billy

While I run the factory seat modified on my CVORK, on my CVO Road Glides I have been running the corbin solo.  I have just over 50K miles on the seat in three years and it still looks great.  Just replaced the Hammock seat on my CVORGU with this corbin.  I highly reccomend corbin, the back rest takes work to get it right.

My battery tender is routed just below the seat, in the gap above the oil filler. I have changed it to a optimate type though

Interesting idea with the backrest! Any pictures please of this :2vrolijk_21:

That's one thing I noticed with the corbin also that the backrest doesn't swivel like the mustang does and when I sat on a gunfighter seat the backrest top edge dug right into my back.
However if you are using a mustang backrest surely the vinyl covering will not match the leather seat or maybe it's not to noticeable, thinking of getting a classic solo for my bike soon, just deciding between the classic solo or gunfighter seat.

Love my Corbin seats one on my CUSE2 and my KTM525 dualsport. Yes that's right Corbin even makes Em for dirt bikes.

Have used various Optimate models over the last 10 years, never had an issue, always hooked upto the bike when in the garage. Generally a good bit of kit. And it works with the canbus on my 14

Just received a Corbin seat for my 2015 RGU, it does not fit correctly and hard as a rock. Corbin insist it is the correct seat and will not fix it. Their customer service sucks, very condescending, this is my second seat from them first one was great. I will never buy their product again and suggest you look at a different brand.
