Email from sales inquiry said that it'd take 3-4 weeks. When I
actually ordered it, they said 6-7 weeks! YIKES!
Hopefully, it'll be worth it, I've heard nothing but good things
about these and the stocker really hurts on longer rides (over 1
hour). I went for the no-dip "modified" in vinyl basketweave.
Leather would've been nice, but probably not ideal for the kind of
weather and riding I do around here.

It will be! I have the world's most delicate butt, and have been thrilled
with the difference, and the amount of time I can now spend riding instead
of standing around waiting for my butt to "heal" so I can get going again.
One thing worthy of note: don't be too freaked out when you open the box
and give an experimental push on the saddle. The thing seems pretty hard,
certainly when compared to stock, but after a few seconds of sitting on
it, the foam gives slightly to provide a more formed seat. And the width
makes all the difference! Good luck, happy trails!

I finally broke down, and ordered a corbin seat today too!! And I got the
black, with basketweave.. No dip.. They told me it would take 6-7 weeks.
Hopefully, since they have more than one order, they will speed it up a
little. At least it will be here in time for spring.

I hope you have better luck than me, I took the cover off mine and
drilled a bunch of 1/2 inch holes in the foam to make it a little
softer, it still is the biggest waste of $325 I have ever spent on
that bike. And yes, when I bought the seat that is what they cost.
I will NEVER buy ANYTHING from Corbin again-EVER!
There are way to many others out there that do it better, not to
mention their seat pans weight about 5 times what the factory one
does.
My 32,500 cents worth

Warren,I live in Washington State,but I'm sure there are good dealers
near you.I drove from my home in Bonney Lake(near Tacoma) to get my KLR 250
from Ed at Longview Motorsports.Phone toll free 1-877-532-6686/360-636-1220.I
bought it last July, a 2001 model,for $3650.00 +a freight and setup,tax and
license(Oregon residents would be tax free).The only other dealer that had
one at that time,in Seattle,wanted a lot more. Also Portland Motorcycle
Co.,sells Kawasajki's,and has had some great prices in the past on KLR650's.
Just a couple of ideas.
