I think its a good deal for a brand new seat
If I have it shipped to Canada I would be paying exchange , duty and stupid $ for shipping

That's a decent deal for a new custom seat. Should fit fine.

It should fit, but I can't guarantee you'll like it...

Hey Rex, Why dont you just get it re-skinned for about 50 bucks? Thats what I did and it was at a golf cart shop that does upholstery. He did both for that price-driver and passenger.

I've had 6-8 Corbin's over the years. Don't pass judgement until you have ridden a couple thousand miles with it. Quality now is not what it used to be, but then what is?

Spencers Seat Mods in Florida does good, inexpensive work that I think rivals Corbin. My last 2 Corbin equipped bikes were poor quality for the money and one had the "piping" at a place that bit into my inner thigh.
I've been happy with the used Suzuki / Sargent gel seat I bought off Squiggy.

Not to thread-jack, but that's an interesting idea.. my seat is starting to split on both sides at the bottom front of the seat, I'd assume from my thunderthighs hugging too tight. Golf course vinyl would be good for waterproofing, but how is it for mud-butt issues? I always get a good sweaty @ss from golf cart seats in the heat of summer..

I got it done in two texture black and it is nice. Smooth on the sides and a corrugated surface in the meat area. I will post some pics when it gets sunny

I picked it up today and installed it right away
The guy told me he had ordered it and crashed the bike before it arrived
I noticed the seat pan is wider especially when you put your feet on the ground when you stop
I would compare the pan shape to that of a John Dear tractor
It probably has less foam than a stock or Gel seat , but more butt contact

I got out for a couple hours today and am happy so far
