I hope somebody swoops it up and gets the operation running again.
I want a corbin on my S2R, but just could never get through the terrible customer service they have currently.

Why? Everything I've heard / experienced is that Corbin's quality also tanked over the last decade.

Last one I bought was for my then new RC51 Hayden Replica. It was a very good upgrade and very good quality. I have had many other Corbins in the past on other scooters and they were always top notch. Sorry to hear things have gone downhill. Maybe new ownership would help. [thumbsup]

I bought a Corbin Seat for my 03 620 Dark. At that time the whole process went very well. I have been told if you live in the area it was better to ride down and get it done the same day. they treat you to lunch and give you a factory tour.

For some reason my work always thought Corbin was some porn site and blocked it which is strange since we don't block anything here  ;D

Luckily when I bought the 05 S4R the seat fit right on it and even better than the 620 for some reason.

It sucks being short. I hope someone else buys it for the vertically challenge people such as myself.

11.5 mil doesn't sound too expensive for a big, well known name.  Sounds like it could be a good investment for somebody
