Does anyone have a Corbin Dual tour seat with the heat?

What is your opinion? Is it worth the cost? I know they have a bit more padding , and have heard from that angle they are a little more comfortable. I have a gunslinger on my WG , looking at one for input on the upcoming bagger

Solely one butt's opinion.  But quite like it.  

When I ordered already knew I wanted and like the Corbin saddle (lots of miles of experience with my ass in their saddles).  But had to convince myself to add the heating option.  Kept thinking "ah, you rode rigids, a heated seat is just too pansy assed even for you."  Finally decided that after the cost of the seat, backrests, tour pak pad, etc that the heat option wasn't enough difference to worry about.  So why kick yourself later for not doing something you should have done when you had the chance.

So, got the heated seat option.  Oh man, it's nice.  May not use it often.  But when you want it it is sweet.  Warm buns are the best.

Yep,take it from one who decided not to spend the extra $. There were quite a few times last winter I wished I had spent the extra $ and ordered the heat for my Corbin.
I promise you will not regret it if you get it but you will if you don't.

So Don...what stitch pattern did you get with the heat?

[Midnight Rider]

Terry, they can put just about any stitch pattern that you'd like.

Thanks, JC...here's a link to the new seat they have out for the '06/07 CVO Ultra

That's a nice looking matched set when comparing with the tour pak backrest.  I had to bring the seat to the bike (so to speak) with some dark red welt cord around the edging than had the stock tour pak backrest recovered by them to match the seat.

I quite frankly wasn't terribly impressed with any of the alternative stitching patterns they offered.  I did sketch out and offer a couple but both were rejected as "too complex to sew with the seat heater."  While I don't profess to know precisely what that really means I knew it did at least mean they wouldn't do it.  That being so went with the old standard tuck and roll.  A classic and almost timeless look for a seat to reside under a classic and almost timeless ass.

Outstanding.  Had five bucks on who would respond with cruelty and without love first.  My money was on D00d saying bad things about my ass before anyone else.  I WON !!

Weird how it only bothers me on the slab...

Not really.

Terry,
I have the Corbin seat for about 3000 miles now. Just now starting to conform to the shape of my a$$. The only thing I would tell you is that the seat sits a little higher and the neck a little wider than stock (I know this won't be too big a deal with your Legend Airride system though!)

Yea...I'm planning ahead    I've got a Corbin on the Ducati, and it's a little taller, but no Legends on it    I don't think I'm going to be able to live without a Corbin on the Ultra now that they've come out with this one.  Maybe I can put my stock one on EBay and recoup some of the expense?  It's only four months old, so somebody will buy it, I think.

[Fired00d]

Outstanding.
