Just purchased a new corbin seat full set for my 05 midnite venture and im not satasfied with the color and the workmanship. want to know if any one elses seat looks more gray than black and if the stiching is not up to parr or uniform. I like the way it looks on the bike and I like the way it sits but I dont like the color and quality in stitching.

I remember when Bob Dakin bought his that he wasn't happy with the color either. He too thought that it looked more gray than black. I'm very happy with mine but mine came direct from Corbin and doesn't have the stitching like the Yamaha version does.

Dont accept second quality, for the price they want for those seats I would definitely send it back.
I don't think you can notice that their black is not as deep unless you put the seat on a darker colored bike. I have seen many Corbin seats and none of them are a true black to me. The one I have on our bike now is the same way but I guess after you ride with it for awhile you just get used to it.
I wouldn't take it off because of the color and I really like how comfortable it is.

I would agree with Bob. I have one on my White 04 and It looks black to me. It matches my tank bib to the tee. but at the prices that these seats are send it back if you are not happy!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Daytripper: Does your stock seat have the chrome trim on it?If you're going to sell it I may be interested in buying it. Thanks.

I'm thinking about the Corbin for my RSMV also. It's pretty tough to tell from their website what combination of leathers would look best. They're about a four or five hour ride from my house. You can pick your materials on site and wait while they make your saddle. If and when I decide to buy, I'll just do an over-nighter.

For a company that demands the price for their seat that Corbin does, it doesn't make sense to me that you can't do more on their website. There's an awful lot of options for their seats that you can only guess at since the website isn't capable of putting your choices on a bike for you to see.
At almost $1000, you better believe I'd send it back if it wasn't absolutely perfect in every way.
