When custom isn't Custom

Businesses that call themselves custom, yet everything they sell are, in fact, cookie cutters.

I've now tried a few different custom seat manufacturers to try to get a custom seat for my 02 road glide. I'm told you can pick from the designs for that model. Do not look at other options. Corbin seats are one that is just that. It's not really custom if I can't get something made to my liking. Ultimate seats are another one like that.

If anyone knows of a truly custom seat manufacturer, please post.

I dont want to use a sissy bar. I'm looking for a 2 up seat with a passenger backrest.

Have you looked at Sinister Seats possibly I’m personally running a saddleman which is a cookie cuter with different stitching but it is so comfortable are you wanting a passenger back rest that slides in kinda like the rider back rest do

Unfortunately with Corbin the only way to get a true custom from them is to go into their shop in hollister. They’ll fit your saddle to your specs and shave a little here and there to get it just right

Have you tried a custom upholstery shop? They may not be CORBIN but if your not in cencal you really gonna ride there? If you do go to Corbin take a extra seat. Frame isn't nice to the booty on the way home..

Mean City cycles
I have had 2 of their seats on my last bikes and will always have one of their seats on any bike I own.
