I have one of these dual seats on the way.

I'm told the saddlebags will be ready in a couple of months  :cooldude:

I think this thing is going to turn into a real fun bike!

corbin's quality & fit/finish is definately not what it used to be. it took a year of sending  my nc700 seat back and forth to get it right. after the forth time back to me it finally worked. you do not have to read to far on the net to see/hear many complaints as of late. corbin used to be the big dog, but now there are several good seats out there. the paint on my bags on my fury looks terrible after less than two seasons of riding. paint quality is horrible and they are not even clearcoated.corbin is way too quick to get new products out before they are right as of late. hopfully things change for the better soon.

I absolutely love the look of the Corbin seats for the F6B. The Valkyrie looks equally good. I wasn't sure about whether I'd like their known "firmer" feel. Well as luck would have it, I came across a deal on a Corbin Dual Tour for the F6B with rider and passenger backrests. Plus the deal came with the OEM backrest mount, the brackets and the OEM luggage rack for the F6B. The guy I bought them from had the seat and backrests reupholstered in black velour. That's not how I would've ordered them. This guy has gone through a Corbin, a Russel Day Long and now has an Ultimate. He says he's searching for the "Holy Grail" of seats. :uglystupid2: Whatever dude. If you were to buy all these items, I swear it would set you back $1600 - $1700. I paid $450 shipped to my door. I have not had a whole day yet in the saddle, but so far, I'm really diggin' the way the Corbin feels. And the Velour?? I've actually warmed up to that as well. Feels good.

Over priced and way over hyped .

But lets face it the stock seat is fine for around town but on the road ???

that is the only thing about this bike that is not quite what it should be. the stock seat looks great, but is ok at best for long distance travel. but this scooter was only intended as a stoplight to stoplight dragster!!!!!!!!!!!! :cooldude:
