I met a friend at Corbin. He was there for a ride-in fitting appointment for his VStrom's seat. Since, among other things, I was working and had a couple of guitars in the back that were motating toward SF for a trade (which did not happen), I was driving the door-slammer.
The last Airhead I had was weraing a Corbin. So I asked if they had any Gunfighters in stock for an R100RS...Mr. Corbin's man looked and said none in stock, butt they could make me one. I told him I didn't have the bike, was waiting for a friend, etc.
He said, "If you want one, I'll have one made before you pal can get out of here." And, "Take this coupon for lunch at the restaurant". They have a restaurant attached to their seat-making facilities. One coupon gets lunch or breakfast for two for any meal on the "menu".
We'd eaten breakfast there already on Duner's seat, so to speak.
My question to Corbin was obvious, "How much". The price was $234 including tax. Within the realm of my price-point pain for impulsive purchases. And they only use leather now on these seats. Done deal.
I think Duner paid more.
I still have the perfect BMW seat, butt I couldn't help changing this one out today in the Sunday down-time.
If you don't like the way it looks, feel free to eat me instead of crowing about how ****ty Corbin seats are. Or how great the stock seat is...or whatever. Basically, I'm with you on all those issues. Butt it was a fun diversion.
