Hey Elvis..........too many of those 'fine corbin seats' walking away from the bike while parked out in the dark??

Yo JCZ,
Corbin has gone to a key latch locking system..works well.

By the pics in the attachment it'd be great for the solo but it won't work on a dual seat.  Dual seat doens't have those mounting bolts in the rear.  So it's back to the thumbnuts for all us dual seated numbnuts.  Now I want some beernuts.

HDNUT if you're wanting to make your wife happy do what I did and buy her her own harley.  Most women don't like the passenger part of the corbin's and the gambler seat is no exception. [smiley=6.gif]

JCZ,

How do you condition and clean your seat so that you don't discolor the blue flame stitching? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Like the look just wondering about the long term upkeep?

Thank you for your reply! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Just got an E-mail back from corbin today. No lock mechanism for SEEG DualTour available. Just a wee bit paranoid about being a screwdriver away from losing a $800.00 seat to some lowlife. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of at least replacing the Phillips screw with a Torx screw.

Some things you've got to just decide not to worry about.  If memory serves the "stock" screw is a button head (needs an allen socket or wrench).  If it's not then that or a torx head would be an easy solution.  I've just got the thumb screw on mine though.  Had the same thing on two Corbin seats on two Road Kings over a few years before this bike too.

Someone might mess with it.  With the tour pak on most folks don't even know where the release screw is.  And if they do, a different kind of screw isn't likely to stop them anyway.

With the thumbscrew I don't have to worry about not being able to get the seat off easily on some dark night if I need a jump though.  I'm a big fan of making things easy for me.

I am thinking about purchasing the Corbin dual touring seat for my red 05 SEEG.  What about the tourpack?  I didnt see any pictures of the seat with the tourpack on the bike.  Will it fit correctly with the rider backrest and the tourpack on the bike?  Or is this seat only for use when the tourpack is off.  I did see they make a little pad for the tourpack if you want to match a color.  I called and talked to someone who had no idea what I was talking about!  If anyone has a picture of this seat with the stock tourpack, I would appreciate seeing it.  Thanks!

I put 700 miles on my SEEG this past weekend, when I picked it up from the dealer.  I can tell you now, it is not a touring saddle.  I called my dealer on monday and ordered the Dual Touring Corbin, that is made especially for the SEEG.  The dealer felt so bad about me not liking the seat, ordered the seat for me with the heater, at the same price as the non-heated.  I ordered it in gray ostrich, with black piping, and the large round backrests for rider and passenger.  Will post pics in a few weeks with it on.  This is going on the yellow SEEG

Has anyone put in  gel pad's or pro pad's in their stock SEEG seat?And if so how do you like them or how does your passenger like them? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

In answer to two previous posts...  

Item 1)    The oddball mounting screw was acceptable insurance for me, SO, I went down to the local contractors supply depot and bought the nifty tool to remove the oneway screws that you see used in public restrooms, (which took some talkin' but I finally convinced 'em my intentions were honest) and I used that type screw to mount the seat, (with the tool in the saddlebag for quick jumps...) [smiley=blush.gif]

Item 2)   My brother in law just put the gel pads in his seat...  took a long ride...   sold the seat.  He said he felt like he'd crapped his pants for 450 miles, and he didn't like the feeling.  I'm guessin' it just squished up his crack and stayed there...   ick. [smiley=furious.gif]

Coolbreeze.....Glad your brother-in-law stepped up to the plate on his review of the gel seats.  I've been trying to figure out how to explain my displeasure with them.  I recently bought a bike for resale that had one on, rode it about 50 miles and couldn't begin to list the personal annoyances with the seat in addition to sweating your a$$ off.

Musta been the Preparation H model.

The verdict is in I just got back from the Red River Rally riding the Corbin Gambler seat.  Going was a little rough because the seat was new and they need to get broke in but we rode 670 miles straight through to get home and it was pretty damn good.  It's not as comfortable as the Dual Touring but it looks closer to the stock seat.  I would have kept my Ultra if I wanted a recliner.  Corbin Rocks!!!!!!!!!
