Corbin Seats?
« on: October 14, 2007, 02:53:55 PM »
OK I finally got my wife on a long (100 mi) trip yesterday.
(plano, frisco, celina, 455 to pilot point and 377 up to bear creek and lake ray roberts - buffalo, hawks, turkey vultures, hundreds of horses, beautiful country side with hills and lakes)

We felt ok when finished BUT know that we need to make changes.

1. Replace stock seat with dual backrest seat.
Leaning toward Corbin
Question: the Corbin site has a LOT of custom ordering options but it does not appear you can see the changes/options on the screen so do any of you DFW 1800 owners have a Corbin seat installed that I can look at and chat with you about?

2. passenger footpegs...initial research seems like the passenger floorboard options are very limited. The Honda dealer wanted almost 300. yea right..what have you guys done?

2005 VTX 1800 R (nothing added/modified yet). Black. Owned a month

I own a Corbin and a Mustang.  You may want to check out Mustang and Ultimate X seats before purchasing a Corbin. 

I have $20 that says she is going to prefer one of those over the Corbin.   O0

BTW, both of those also come with dual backrest.

Corbin also has a reputation for poor customer relations.
