My new Valk came with a Corbin Stinger, gray in color and imitation ostrich pattern.  Love the way the seat looks on the bike, but just sits me too low.  I feel like my knees are brushing my earlobes.  Looking at alternatives and having troubles finding something that will work.  Problem is that the bike has beetle bags and a lot of the seats don't work with them.  So far, Ultimate has a seat specially made for beetle bags, but they only make their seats in black.  Cee Baileys will take the Corbin base and build a seat on it and cover with the gray ostrich leather, but I'm needing the seat raised at least a couple of inches and possibly moving the seating area back some, if possible.  Do you think that would ruin the look of the Stinger?  Anyone have any better ideas/sources?

Bama, are you saying that Ultimate only makes their Beetle Bag seats in black? I know their regular seats can be made in numerous colors and finishes so was just wondering.

Ultimate does do custom work.... but I don't think there are returns on custom stuff like that (something to consider).

As for re-doing the Corbin Stinger.... I would have to recommend that you don't do that, sell it and get a stock for someone to rework if need be.   There is a guy on the VTX board that reworks seats (any seat I think)  http://www.meancitycycles.com/..... but I would recommend you buy a stock seat pan for him to use and sell the Corbin to help recoup some costs.
