Jim can't fit you to a seat. Nobody can unless you're there at the factory. Stitching and all that cosmetic stuff is fine to let a dealer get that right for you. But if that seat doesn't fit you right, good luck getting Corbin to make that right unless you can be in Hollister with you, the seat, AND your bike. 2 different issues in ordering seats; fit AND cosmetic!

Hoist!

No problem.....make an appt. and take a ride.

HeHe!!! Easy for you to say living out there. I don't think you'll find many getting out there with their bikes to have a seat custom-fitted though. I'd have loved nothing more than to have done that. But it wasn't in the cards for me to do that. So I went thru HELL instead, dealing with them for almost a year, until I finally got my seat to an acceptable place for me. Never even got to that point with Miker and GH. I know you love your Corbins, and you're in good shape being able to go to Hollister directly. But don't make it seem like it's all a bed of roses dealing with Corbin from afar! Believe us, IT'S NOT!!!

Hoist!

[Hoist!]

Corbin told me to come there as well........no problem.........Howie, let's take a quick ride We could be there in a few hours

HeHe!!! Believe me, I'd LOVE to do that Mike! And stay out west a few months traveling out there on Cybil too Mike!!! And head up to Alaska too, and maybe come back thru Canada! Someday I'll be able to just get on the road whenever I want, for as long as I want! Too bad that someday ain't NOW though!!!

Hoist!

I know if I didn't get what I wanted no mater what it took I be pissed every time I looked at it. Just my $.02

I'm with ya on that one......

TJ has to do what makes him happy.

If you buy a "custom" Corbin you either have to ride there and deal directly with them or on a phone order.  When you go thru an intermediary like Jenny (who is great) thinks go sour fast.

Like Howie stated (and 2lane will tell you the same), it can be sure hell to deal with them when you are not face to face.

Me too!
An old lady that I worked for years ago once told me "JC, don't ever settle for less than what you want......you'll always regreat it.  Reach for what you want and you'll always be happy".  I adopted that phylosaphy and never looked back......had some pretty stressed out periods in my life, but never looked back.

Somebody sent me a color chip (in the shape of mickey mouse) to match the thread color for the Tequila Sunrise, at Corbin.  I cleaned out my PM in box and don't remember who it was, so Dave from Raleigh, N.C. please send me another PM.

I'm here at Corbin now.  You guys cost me more money......ordered the solo tour pack rack and now have to get the tour pack backrest pad (without the arms on it).  I'll try to get pics posted as soon as I get my bike back from Jim's.  He's doing other mods to it.

Got my seat back from Corbin today. They got it right I think The p-pad is so long that the sissy bar barely fits on and sits on top of it. This sound correct or did I get the wrong p-pad, 50's style? The dockable stealth rack wont go on at all.
I Will get it back together as I get the rest of the parts in. The pipes will be done on the 29. The hawg-wired double shots will be in tomorrow and the HID lights are on the way in a couple of days courtesy of hd-dude
I will of course take pics of the mods as I put them on and post in a new thread.

Did you order from Jim (hd-dude)?  He knows that the p-pad has to be custom cut at the back.  I'm thinking you ordered it from somebody other than Jim.  For those of you that have or are having issues trying to get a seat right from Corbin.......go through Jim and get it right.  If you call the Hollister factory directly and want to deal with them directly, ask for Julio (pronounced Hulio).

TJ.....the back of the p-pad has to be shaved with a forward slant to get the tour pack on. I'm assuming it's the same for the sissy bar.  I posted pictures of it someplace.....probably in my mod thread.   I don't know anything about a "stealth" rack.  However, you can send it back to them with an explanation and they'll get it right.

Again, you can get it cheaper from Jeni or Chicago HD or you can get it done right from Jim.

It shouldn't matter who they go through to assume it'll be right the first time. Secondly, with the help of one of our west coast members, I was put into contact with Julio in regards to seat issues I had. He was no help ... worthless. Corbin's customer service is non-existent at times. JMO

TJ, click on this link and go to reply #426 to view a side profile of my p-pad.  You can see how the back of the p-pad is shaved forward.

GH, if the person placing the order doesn't have the hands on experience with CVOs then they don't know what to ask for.  The problem isn't with off the shelf seats.....it's with the "custom" features that are requested.  Buy from somebody that knows CVOs and Corbin.  Just a suggestion.

I had Jenni order it. You think if I send It to Jim he can get it fixed for me? Have no prob paying to get it right

[JCZ]

No, it'll have to go back through Jenni.  She'll have to refer to the order number or PO number.  But you can print out the picture of my p-pad that I refer to above and send it with an explanation, right in with the p-pad.
