Annoyed with this Corbin dual tour

I always heard Corbin was "the best" aftermarket seat so I splurged for a new custom designed one for Black Mamba this year.

Fitment and function are fine but I had two issues:

1. Red siding material did not match the on-line design tool picture and has lots of bling-bling flake and is shiney. I can live with that.
2. Seat "faux snakeskin" material is crap. The seat positions you a little forward (a good thing for me), but this causes some abrasion on the front of
the seat with normal clothing (i.e. no belt buckle). After just 2,000 miles it started to show wear and this photo shows the damage at 5,000.

On the plus side, Corbin responded quickly and said they will provide an RMA and re-do the work. They did not respond to whether I can switch the materials with alternates yet.

I'll return it after the riding season, and I will cover that area with something when it comes back to protect it.

Just make sure that the cheap aluminum rivet gun will take a big enough rivet, they are fairly limited
