Funky new Corbin Solo seat arrived

[tribal]

Well, my new self-designed Corbin Solo seat arrived yesterday.

I'm not 100% in love with the looks but Corbin did warn me that the configuration
tool was only for reference.

I should have gone with all-leather as the side panels are REALLY shiny (unlike their photos).

I was trying to match the Red stripes on the Roadster and this was the closest color in the tool. It's not exact but good enough and it looks decent on both bikes (to me - but did I mention I'm color blind).

It also came with a warning note not to place it on hard surfaces or on its end - the side panel material must be prone to wear :^( I don't take the seat off all that often but I'll have to use extra care it seems.

The "Chrome" piping is actually silver too...

I sprung for the matching backrest - it's larger than I thought it would be but looks comfy.

Not that I would, but I might have a hard time selling a custom one-off design like this. Something
to be aware of if you're considering this sort of style.

There's snow in my driveway and it's 18F with windchill so I'll have to post on its comfort in the Spring.

Nice! I've wasted a bunch of time with their tool when I should have been working, and was curious to know how reality matches up. I'll be very interested to know how it feels.

That seat is nice; I wouldn't have any problem with the color or the texture, must have cost a pretty penny? Enjoy and Be Safe!

I think it's an awesome design. If you are going to spend the money on a custom seat, then go all the way and really make it one of a kind. It does look better on the black and red rocket, bit the tribal orange rocket is already an awesome bike. Well done.

Nice. It reminded me of the very rad one I have, or had. I gave it to a friend who hung it on the wall in his garage. It has the solo seat with matching passenger pillion. The seats are flamed as I recall. My buddy is returning from his Georgia home at the end of March so I'll get it back and post some pics.

I like it on the Roadster, not so much with the Orange Tribal though.

A bit "glam" for me.

you'll need to get matching boots

That's funny right there. I might not take that as a joke if you were taking to me. I have have boots made to match a bike.

I do NOT like the huge backrest.

Some bikes just deserve their own boots.
