I contacted Corbin to get a seat custom made for my bike.  It seems they need an 04 Screamin Eagle Electra Glide and an 04 Screamin Eagle Deuce to use to mock up some parts that they're going to manufacture.  The trade off is that you get the item for free.  Now I'm not sure what it is that they're going to make but I'm curious.

So, I have an appointment to drop my bike off (in Hollister), for them to use.  But they still need a Deuce.  Any Deuce owners in Northern Calif that can live without your bike for a couple weeks, it might be worth your time to call.

Hey JC, I'm feeling a little schizophrenic cause it seems I'm having a conversation about seats with you in three or more different areas and in two different groups!!!! Since you're heading over to Corbin, this is where I'm at on seats. I've got my "touring" set up all set now with a sundowner and touring backrest (on bike right now). A Universal storage bag mounts very nicely to backrest and sits on rear seat. Luggage rack will also hold a bag as well. I'm gonna ride around with this set-up this riding season to test the seat out.  

I was initially set on always having the luggage rack on bike which severely limited the choices of seats from Corbin (many don't fit with luggage rack). However, the next time I have the seat off, I'm gonna look at how easily the luggage rack comes off. If it's relatively easy, I might consider a Corbin Gunfighter type seat (with a backrest) for local riding--looks cool and super comfortable! (break out the touring set-up when needed)

So I'm all set while Corbin comes up with their seats for the 04 SED. Questions for Corbin: Will seats for 04 SED be the same seats the have for 03 Deuces? When will seats be ready? How many/which seats compatible with HD luggage rack?

He is, he just doesn't know it!  [smiley=laugh.gif]

Corbin called me awhile ago.   They only need my bike for one week.  And the kicker is that I get to pick any seat that I want.  I told him that I want the Dual Tour with both backrests and the heater.   To my surprise, he said "it's yours......just let me know when you drop your bike off.  When you pick it up, it will be on your bike".   [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=1syellow1.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=6.gif]   Do I need to say I'm stoked.  I was getting ready to go plunk down $1,100 or $1,200 and now I can ..............buy something else!

Let's see.....hmmmmm......the Woods cams, the gear drive......

Seroiusly, ask AK about the Corbin seats......he has them and swears by em.  My understanding is that they're a firmer foam but that they're countoured to support much more of the butt, hip and thigh area, spreading out the support.  Of course I can't tell you from personal experience......this will be my first.  But I'd say that 80% of the aftermarket seats in Calif are Corbin.....you just don't see many others.

Corbins are great seats.. I swore by mine ..untill my back went out..the firm support just hurt my back.  Used it for 4 years and loved it. ( I switched to a mustang which is a little softer).  The quality on a corbin is unsurpassed. I hated to switch but my body gave me no choice. :-/

Anybody with the blue and black SEEG.....I'm selling the custom made Corbin seat.  It's custom stitched with a blue flame pattern (to go along with the blue flames on the bike).  If you're interested, let me know.

JCZ;

Try the Harley Air Zeplin Seat. Real Leather, Real Soft,  Five adjustable air bladdders, one air compressor and it just plugs in to the accessory plug under the stock seat. They have both the rider and passenger backrests to match. The rider's is adjustable and spring loaded so you can adjust it as you ride.

My wife calls it her "Throne" and can take the long runs with a smile, so can I.
