    The Corbin Seat & Accessory Company is for sale. :unsure:

    >>> Corbin For Sale <<<

    I sure hope this is not a sign of things to come for the motorcycle industry.

    OUCH. Looks like customer service could get even worse.

    Funny you say that. That was the first thing I thought of too.....maybe the rumours of their poor customer service has finally caught up to them. Don't know if that's the real reason or not but it's very interesting and I'm sure we'll never find out the real reason. Unless someone here knows someone on the "inside" at Corbin.

I was just about to send my Corbin seat in to have it recovered. :mad: That's it,I'm selling everything,moving to Canada,and joining Randy's United Federal Republic!:tongue: Seriously though,I think I'll just wait awhile and see how this plays out. Thanks for the tip.:thumbsup:

    Don't shoot the messenger! I just share the news. :hi2:

    You're more than welcome to move up to Canada. I'm sure Randy will be more than gracious and help you settle in. But things are not much better up here either. And most of us (except Randy's west coast) still have some snow to get rid of before we can ride this year.

    Just remember....we have REAL beer in Canada. :cheersaf:

    :tongue2:

    Looks like the ad states the owner is "retiring" but that could mean a lot of things. I only had one experience with Corbin custom service and they were fine. I had an old seat recovered and it was a great experience. Sorry to see it "go" if thats truly what is happening.

    Homer Simpson could run the company better. Cust service can only get better no matter who buys them.
