At 6+ decades I’ve dealt with a lot of companies. And Corbin is absolutely, positively the vilest, most despicable organization I’ve ever purchased from. I put their seats on a 600 Kawasaki and my Gen I Feejer. In both cases, the seats were quite good but each took about two hours of bending, shoving, fabricating, and cursing to get them to fit. Phone calls to Corbin yielded responses that could be summarized as “Tough shit. We got your money.”
The last straw was a few years back when the GF had a Ninja 650 as her first bike. Having spent much of her life in the horse saddlery business, she knew exactly what she wanted and took care to order accordingly. When the Corbin arrived, it was definitely not what she ordered. She of course got on the horn to Corbin and explained the discrepancies. The “customer service” girl on the other end was adamant that the saddle was to order. The GF, copy of the order in hand, had the Corbinchick pull their copy of the order and read it back. The orders were identical and definitely not what the GF received. The GF told the Corbinchick to sit tight, took a picture of the saddle and emailed it to her. To which the Corbinchick’s response was (I’m NOT making this up) “That’s not the saddle we sent you. That’s a fake picture.” The GF was able to get the credit card charge stopped and sent the saddle back, along with a note to please put the saddle back into inventory up their collective asses.
When I got my Gen III I didn’t even consider Corbin. Went straight to Sargent. It’ll be a cold day in Phoenix before I ever do business with those low life, scum sucking, ratbastard, commie shitbags again. And I very much hope that nobody else does either.
