Title: Corbin seat for 696

Well it's out, I'm still reserved about the stitching on it, but maybe they can do one without the lines.

Anyways, anyone bit the bullet yet and ordered one? Thoughts? I'm tired of getting intimate with my gas tank  :P

haha...lol...
What are they doing for a living ? Harley seats ? sofas ?
Come on, that does not even fit my personal diss bike the 696.
There is definitely something better out by DP ... something that fits the bike and does not look like a couch mounted on a frame

I think they made that to satisfy the AARP 696 club. That thing is horrible!

have to agree on that... looks like someone stole a seat from a sportster and put it on the 696

I'm not a fan of the 696 at all but that seat looks quite comfy to me.

I know there was some discussion of this when it was first available, and that no one liked the stitching on it.  I emailed them asking if they could make it without and got a simple one line back.

It looks like it would really help with the nut crunching some of us are dealing with.  But I would really like to see one without stitching before purchase, especially for $419 smackers.

$420 is ridiculous for that seat...

That's got to be the ugliest aftermarket Monster seat I have ever seen.

Unfortunately, it's not. Look at their "Smuggler" seat for the "old style" Monsters....   [puke]

Hi,

I photoshopped the seat to take the stitching out... what do you think?

I read the instructions for adding images... followed them and still screwed up.

How did you do that?

for pics like that you have to right click on the image, click properties, highlight, ctrl+c to copy it and then put it in the img brackets...
