VH, did you have a point of contact at Corbin when you had them re-do you seat on the 12?

I think he's in South Africa at the moment, so his response might be delayed.

I'm trying to figure out how to get their saddle in a 'less than concrete' form...
I know you had yours reworked until you were happy. I'm trying to skip that process.
thanks

The Concrete extends to their Brains also! AFter getting the seat on my ZRX I "NOW" Realize that the first seat I got from them was "Soft" (er) than what they normally send and the 2nd time was sponge compared to what they do and it is "JUST" soft enough! It took 3 times for my wife's seat to be made right!
I will be at work tomorrow, but it will be a few days before I can help you. The other person at work who could do my job is out sick (Vertigo fluid in his ears and cannot hear!!

Mike Corbin is NOT his real name and I want you to have his real name when you ask for his Secretary and tell her to have them add more air to the foam seat mix!

Ask for his Secretary. Tell her that Vincent Hill has the "ONLY" Corbin Saddle that you would consider owning because at least it has some give in it  You want yours also to have more air added into the Foam mix and hope that it can be done with one shipping to you and not back and forth 2 times like he did.
You know that If you have a Green ZX12R My seat can be purchased because I do not plan to ride it with my "Street" Set up again! Also the Very Soft rear seat for Peggy

lietoome, keep us posted on the seat if you get it
am considering getting one custom made (with better cushion etc) for the 12, or perhaps the 14.
vincent, is there a thread somewhere with pics of your corbin seats?

The front seat has the Basket weave and Green Piping but the rear seat is about 2 inches high in the rear Sculpted so it will not cut into the legs also with Green Piping and Basket weave on top! It only took 3 times for the rear seat and 2 times for the front. I feel better about Corbin after getting the ZRX because I really thought they had not listened to me the first time. Now I realize that the fact that I could depress the seat at all meant that it was Softer!

I will be buying a corbin. I love the shape of the corbin I had on my 12. The 14 seat looks identical. I just don't want one as hard as the one I had. I did get some good info on future projects for the 14. A two piece seat, a 'rumble seat' for the passenger, and the trunk storage that can be used with the 2 piece seat.
Thank you for the info Vince, I will put it to use and fill in everyone on the board...in the next few weeks, maybe months. I just gotta have my Brock Gen3 first.
