Show me your Corbin seats

[PaulG]

A tip I learned from an old friend: His dad ran his own custom marine upholstery business.  He suggested to me if I ever recover a seat - use marine vinyl.  It has superior UV resistance than "regular"  vinyl, and other properties that make it more durable.  And it comes in all those purty colours too.

Silver piping looks nice!

Did you get the back rest for the Lady?

That brand new Corbin looks like a million bucks. The way it tapers off at the back and the over all low profile really work with the appearance of the bike.

I purchased this Corbin off eBay a while ago. I also picked up the backrest as well. Aftermarket. I haven't had the seat redone yet as I have no idea what colour scheme to do it or do I leave it black all over?  Ideas please. I've been reading the articles. Interesting. Some photos of peoples choices are fantastic.  The piping on mine is red  ( original I Doubredly,)but I temporarily changed it to black. (Texta colour for now) . It works. I must admit. Even in its deshevelled state it has to be the most comfortable seats I've sat on. The material must be the original as it's hard as hell and minimal give its cracked all over the place but I love it. Oddly enough my wife thinks it's ok as well. It's one of the first jobs for the new year that's getting done.

You have to live with it/look at it for a very long time and bling can become tiresome. I sometimes think folks try and make a feature of too many things and it starts looking too busy. An excess of cosmetic adornments could lead to this, it starts with contrasting piping and before you know it.......



Seriously, the only person that needs to like the look of the seat is you. Search the internet and find a look you like and do it.

I know it's entirely a matter of personal taste but I like all black with contrasting texture/pattern for some relief, subtle but classy. Do not use leather!
