Sorry for lack of updates. I had a stomach virus the end of last week. Corbin emailed me letting me know they were done with the one piece seat. I have emailed them back, letting them know they will still have the bikes for 2.5 months...if so they should take the time and make a solo, or what I would like is a solo/pilliion combo. That way those that bob their savages can have a bolt on saddle that hopefully works well. My parents are driving out a uhaul, towing a trailer I purchased in CA that'll be hauling the bikes. Side note-- Shipping two bikes costs as much as buying a small flatbed trailer, now I'll have a trailer to show for it. Please post in the forums, write Mike Corbin a letter, send an email to Customer service, visit the factory and talk to someone at the cafe for lunch, whatever!!! I can't stress enough, NOW is the time to get them to make what we want. I can't imagine they are going to offer 7 seats, saddlebags, and a trimtab fairing for the LS/S40, but I believe they should at least work on a single style seat at the minimum while the bikes are still there. In fact if someone helps me, why don't we put a poll up... Votes for a Solo, Solo/pillion, gunfighter, rumble, beetle bags, trimtab fairing. And let's be honest to ourselves, which ones would you actually spend your $$'s on? VHFKID |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by drharveys on 09/01/09 at 05:58:32 As you guys know, I already spent my $$$ with Corbin's esteemed competitor, Rick Mayer. I've had a Corbin seat in the past, and it was attractive, durable, and, most important, comfortable. An off the shelf Corbin would be a lot more cost-effective than going totally custom! I would have liked to have had the choice, but I've already bought the seat my Savage is going to keep! http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Suzuki/DSC00891.jpg. |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by Gary On A Savage on 09/01/09 at 07:55:12 Lovely setup Doc! Looks really comfortable. Heard great things about Mayer seats. Nothing beats a custom-to-your-seat seat. |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by thumperclone on 09/01/09 at 08:04:24 whats a trimtab fairing?? |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by vhfkid on 09/01/09 at 09:10:20 It looks like the head of an alien from the movie aliens. They have a demonstration of how it works here: http://www.corbin.com/product/trimtab.shtml I'm sticking with the memphis slim windshield, but I like the idea of a small wind blocking fairing that is so narrow. |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by bill67 on 09/01/09 at 09:49:53 The trouble with that corbin seat its almost 1/2 inch narrower than the stock seat |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by vhfkid on 09/01/09 at 10:03:05 that does worry me just a bit. I'm hoping someone will get one and post about it soon. I'll get to try mine in December. VHFKID |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by flcruzr on 09/01/09 at 16:55:38 Is there an email address we can send our thoughts and wish list too? I think they should offer a couple more options of the seats. A Poll would be good also. I would definitely spend the money for a stylish and comfortable seat. |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by drharveys on 09/01/09 at 18:53:37 The aerodynamics of the trim-tab seem to be a great idea, and I know you look over, not through, a motorcycle windscreen, but it sure would be a lot less fugly if it were clear or even smoke-colored translucent! |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by Savage_Amusement on 09/01/09 at 19:37:42 I would be grateful for a narrower seat, I do not need such a wide one, and it kind of pushes my legs out wider than they are comfortable with. Not so much a problem now with the new tank though. |

Title: Re: Corbin Seat and vhfkid Post by Mr. Hyde on 09/02/09 at 05:53:50 I sent Corbin a question about the seat last Sunday. Their site says 24 hour turn around - this is Wednesday - nothing. :P |

Yes, I agree. If the trim tab were a traditional clear/smoke, it would be on my wish list. I have a national flyscreen for the summer, and a sportscreen for winter. But I've paid less for both then for a single new windsail. Beetle bags would be on the list, but would need to be cost effective. |
