Corbin Seat Anyone?
A little worn, but going cheap at the moment, wouldn't cost too much to re-cover if you wanted perfection 
Corbin seat for Honda CBR1000f. Red and White. | eBay

Recovering by Corbin is not cheap....to me, it has to be by chance. I will not force my way into to....cause seats are a luxury, the stock ones works fine. But then if by chance, some nice Corbin ones or Sergent one comes into opportunity? Get it, it's the best seat I've spent money on...those seats brand new will cost $400-$600? For my blade, front one cost $279.99 rear like $249.99....
I went solo seat so I just needed the front, Corbin quoted me $350 for leather trim and carbon fiber type of material. Stop thinking about it for few months, then the exact seat came up on eBay for $120 BIN....after I purchase it, few months later, another one came up for $90....so the opportunity is there but if you can't wait, spent the money, buy it & have Corbin recover at 1/2 the cost of buying new

Recovering by Corbin is not cheap, if you send it to Corbin, but if you find a good guy to re-work it for you in your choice of hides you can get off fairly reasonably. There's been members here who have had their stock seats shaved and bolstered to give a Corbin effect (where's Shakey?) with good results.
I love my Corbin.
Whilst other are trying to lower their pegs and raise their bars, I'm looking for more tuck
You can't get that saddle from Corbin anymore. If you want it buy it. If you don't want it, buy it anyway. Try it and if it's not for you, then resell it.
I once had kangaroo skin Lotto bicycling shoes. The the best shoes I've ever owned.
Don't know if that's a sin down under, but Man, what a supple hide!
A 'roo skinned Corbin would be nice

I've got a very nice seat on my bike already Woof, that's why I thought I'd share the joy
And yeah, I'd get it re-covered by a local guy if it was me, though with the weather we get here, I doubt I'd go for leather.
