I just ordered a heated DualSeat from Corbin for my RT. I am skipping the passenger backrest, as I have yet to take the Mrs, for a ride.

I usually complain about Corbin because of their long lead times and very expensive shipping charges. I orderd an RT seat on 5/5/10. Standard version w/ backrest--no heat--no Lamonster cut. It was delivered today (the 20th). Thats two week delivery folks. This is the best time span on a Corbin order that I have had. The installation took me about 1 hour from start to finish. All the parts were there, they fit, and it looks good. I have had experience installing the seat on my 2008 RS-- so it was not too much of a mystery. :2thumbs:

I also ordered one on May 5th and mine is supposed to be delivered Friday. I gave them a drop dead date for shipping due to a trip I am taking and they were very accommodating. I have been a Corbin fan for years.

I ordered April 13. Written confirmation of 2-3 week lead time. (ordered a heated seat and backrest)

Still do not have the seat. My credit card was charged the full amount (per their policy) on April 14-- and I have had to pay the bill already.

They have missed 2 promised ship dates so far.

Very nice people (I have had 3-4 Corbin seats)

Latest promise is to ship today (May 21) . I have been told that they have been backordered on heated seat elements--so if some people have ordered heated seats and received them since April 13th then somehow my order has been bypassed (they said that they do not move anybody 'up')

Did you go with the standard seat or the Lamonster cut? I would love to see it in person when you get it. I am thinking of getting one but don't want to be moved any further back from the handlebars.

I went with the Lamonster Cut. I wanted the deeper seat. The position of the middle backrest is supposedly the same.

I got word that Corbin is in the process of making the seat now. It should ship next wednersday. I _should_ have it by next weekend.

Roughly a 3 week lead time plus delivery.

I wonder if I go to the Florida shop can they modify my seat after it had been build, I want it deeper but also wonder if that means less padding for my you know what.

My understanding is that they are made in the extreem northern parts of Canada. It takes Ice Road Truckers to deliver it to you. :joke::joke::roflblack::roflblack:

Your Mileage May Very.
