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?

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!

Looks really comfortable. Heard great things about Mayer seats. Nothing beats a custom-to-your-seat seat.

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.

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.

Not so much a problem now with the new tank though.
