Don't change it.........it looks a lot nicer than the stock black seat! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  I've been to Corbin (the original one, in Hollister) and saw all their different colors and variety of leather but I don't think you could have picked a better color.  JMHO

Thanks gang....

Yep>>> it was a risky choice not ever seeing this combination and not knowing if it would "flow".  The Black tank piece is exactly what is throwing it off.  

Now I just need to find some chrome to replace the black leather buckle piece.  I'm hoping there is something out there that can be installed/attached to the bottom half.  Any ideas on where I can find one?  I do not think anything is available to attach at this time.

Have Corbin make you one out of the same leather.  Probably be a one of a kind and look really hot.

Glad I can be of assistance.   Do you have any pics of your current set up?

Your seat is totally cool.  I have a Corbin, too, and love it.  In fact, I plan to go up to their shop in Hollister, CA next month and get another one (different design) made.

Your seat color and material fits your bike perfectly!

Hey Phatharley4me.... the seat looks great, can you get the dash done with the same
material as the seat?  Just a thought!

Corbin seats are awesome, if you think it's comfortable now wait until it is totally broken in(which can take a LONG TIME on a leather Corbin).  I am working on breaking this one in right now(I had this one custom made by Corbin):

http://www.pbase.com/image/41248514/large

& it is already the most comfortable seat I have ever owned & I have been building & riding Harleys since 1970.  

I had a Corbin solo on an 01 Heritage I used to own.  That seat took a good 3000 miles to really break-in but after that it was awesome.  I have owned numerous Mustang seats also,  & although they are much more comfortable than the stock seats(& the vinyl is easier to care for), a well broken in Corbin beats a Mustang hands down IMHO.
