Unboxing of my custom Corbin seat with side by side comparison to stock. We'll also take a look at the install and I'll give you my impressions after the first ride!
Hey Zac..thanks for checking out the video. The Corbin seat is one of those things that seems to feel better every time you throw a leg over the bike and pop it out of neutral. I have ZERO regrets spending the money on that seat. I can say, however, I have traded that bike in. Try as I might, the dealership demanded I keep the seat on the bike when I made the deal. The carbon covers are just a wrap. I bought some film from PepBoys and wrapped those in about 15-20 minutes. They were on the bike about two years and never gave me any issues. Thinking of doing another video wrapping some parts on my car. But, use a heat gun or hair dryer, don't over stretch it and the results will hold up. 🏍💨
I used the same material for the seat, the stud bar and the side panel, it's BLACK NATURAL. I did consider alligator or snake skin but the rep told me those were intended more for show bikes and probably wouldn't hold up very well if the bike is ridden often. I'm right at 6' tall with a 32" inseam.
Corbin seats are the best!!
Thanks so much for this vid man! So many questions about this seat but you did a great review. I also have. A Vulcan S 🏍😎 safe travels

2 years later, how is it? Also, what are those carbon fiber inserts on the radiator that you have? Thanks, hope to hear back from you

@@colocruiser3239 I just ordered one! Had one on a Bonneville and loved it!
If you don’t mind me asking what was the final price with tax and shipping from Corbin?
I don't mind a bit. It was just short of $525.
And honeslty...with 2,100 miles in, it has been worth every penny. I've taken rides up to 300 miles and had to stop only for fuel.
@@colocruiser3239 it costs $608 now without postage :/
Yep. Just paid 675 after shipping. Geez...@@flesz_
What are the materials you used? How tall are you? What was your inseam?
I used the same material for the seat, the stud bar and the side panel, it's BLACK NATURAL. I did consider alligator or snake skin but the rep told me those were intended more for show bikes and probably wouldn't hold up very well if the bike is ridden often.
I'm right at 6' tall with a 32" inseam.
how is the seat holding up?
Seat got more and more comfortable every time I rode it. No complaints on craftmanship up to the time I traded the bike in...about two months ago.
Did you forget to film the install? WTF?
Hahahaha... the install is literally one bolt.
