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. Patrick Denver, CO

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! Wise men still seek Him...

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. MotorMark

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 John
