Another :2thumbs: for the Russell Day Long!

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Question about Corbin Seats

Mmmm, Corbin? I would definitely look elsewhere. Mike Corbin who started making Harley seats 25 years ago was pretty fair, but now that they are in "the Big Time" things have changed drastically. It is run by other people who are very business like, impersonal and simply "don't give a damn dear" about your little problems!

.....and another for Day Long. Ultimate make great seats, but they are one size fits all. Daylong make seats especially to fit YOU. Sure they are more expensive, but you get what you pay for

Sorry but it simply isn't true that the 'Corbin seat breaks you in instead of the other way around'.
I have over 100,000 miles on my Corbin spyder seats and they indeed DO break in after a few thousand miles to fit you perfectly.
Maybe if you're really light I could see it taking longer to break in due to the firmness.
They're a great seat.

I've had the exact opposite experience with Corbin. I had a Corbin on my 2008 GS for 80,000 miles. Had one on my 2012 RT for 24,000 miles. Just ordered one for my 2015 F3 and they have been GREAT.
I had questions as well and the receptionist only kept me on hold for about a minute and then Mike picked up the phone... as in Mike Corbin. He was great to talk to and (obviously) knew the product well.
My smuggler trunk and seat will take 6-8 weeks to arrive.
Their seats are fantastic and I can't imagine any long mile rides without one.

Can Am comforrt seat VS Ultimate/Corbin
How does the Can Am comfort seat compare to the Ultimate Tall boy or a comparative Corbin. I have an Ultimate tall boy but would like to get even further back and the seat is a little firm in the padding. I was thinking of going to the comfort seat but wanted to get some opinion first. Does the comfort move you back a little? It says it moves back 2" as opposed to the Ultimate which goes back 1.5". Is it a little softer than the Ultimate?

Thanks. I bought all three because I needed to know for sure. Plus I knew I wasn't the only one that could benefit from it.

Corbin Seat Service
I have a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S. Didn't care for the stock seat, so an order was placed for an electrically heated seat, with an oval back rest. Seats for the Spyder, come with the fuel filler door, so the passenger need not leave the bike for the bike to be refueled. The order for the seat was placed online, and a nice representative by the name of Jessica called a couple days later to verify the order. And my specifications and requirements. I was told that it should take four to six weeks to complete. To date, I've not had a problem with them (Corbin). But while the stock seat should be easy enough to remove, and the new one installed, I'll let the dealership take care of that.

Yeah, Firefly, when I was looking at seats for the F3, I had a lot of contact with Corbin as I wanted to make sure the seat would "probably" work before bringing it out here. I never had an issue with email or phone contact, and found them prepared to take the time to try to help out. I didn't go with Corbin as there was no way I could be reasonably comfortable that it would suit without riding on it for 2000kms. They understood completely.
That doesn't mean that I am disregarding the comments from those who have had a bad experience with Corbin, as there are too many to dismiss lightly. It's all a bit confusing.
