I will send the pics when it is all together, Chicago HD told me 3 to 4 weeks for all the stuff I ordered. That was a couple of weeks ago. I'm thinkin 4 to 5 weeks, either way I won't be going on any long trips (weekend) until April anyway.

I got a call from Fremont HD today telling me it won't be until at least next week to get the new computer for the bike. So no dyno yet.

Kingsalmon tell us what you think of the Corbin seat.  I'm sure that you're getting some riding in this week, with the temps. in the 70's.

Anyone use the comfort stitch HD seat? Does it fit correctly and is it more comfortable than the stock seat?  Ok, ok, dumb question - a steel tractor seat would be more comfortable than the stock seat. Still curious if anyone has experience with that seat.

Also, any of you over 6 ft-ers find a seat that lets you slide back further?

The stock Electra Glide seat fits the SEEG even worse.

JCZ, right the Electra Glide seat wouldn't work at all.

No sweat, JCZ.  If it wasn't clear to you, it probably wasn't clear to someone else, either. [smiley=beerchug.gif]

Went to Corbin this morning.  It was an interesting experience.  I've been there before, during the Hollister Rallys.  Of course it's very croweded, then.  But had never been there on a regular day before.  

It's kind of out in the boonies, in an industrial park.  It's a large operation with a full scale 50's diner style restaurant on site, showroom, factory, research and development all on site.  There's also a large lawn area with pic-nic tables, too.  Never really thought about it before, but I guess hundreds or thousands of people have spent the whole day there, waiting for their custom made seat to be made.

There were motorcycles there of every make and model that you could imagine.....even dirt bikes.........and lots of crotch rockets.  A lot of people everywhere, just waiting, laying out on the lawn, sitting at the tables, in the restaurant, in the showroom.  Very interesting.

I met with Vince, the guy who runs the R&D dept. and he processed my bike in.  We talked at length about the seat that I want.  Next Sat. when I go in I will me with a custom seat wizard (that's what they call them) and a FLHTCSE Dual Tour seat stock (with the foam, but no cover.  I will sit on the bike many times, as they continue to remove bits and pieces of the foam till it's just how I want it.  Then I meet with another wizard for the seat cover.  I told him that I want a black leather seat with Cobalt Blue leather inlays on the side panels and no studs (maybe flames to contiue with that theme).  He told me whatever I want is what I'll get.  I'm looking forward to it.

I love the seat, I used the heater again last night, it also smooths out the hard bumps a lot.
