Foam is in good shape. Worked great but I'm putting the bike back to stock. $125 shipped in USA.

Shame Corbin wants nearly as much as a new seat to recover one. I have an S2 seat with some cracks in it. From the Corbin website: My seat's about 30 years old, can you recover it? Naturally we offer recovers, repairs and restorations of your Corbin saddle. The cost of recovering a seat can vary quite a bit and your best option is to contact our Customer Service department directly. To give you an idea: If your saddle needs a new cover made, the cost will be approximately 75% of that seat model's current price. This is because the greatest area of cost on a saddle (in raw materials AND labor) is in the cover and assembly. Before sending in a saddle for repair or rework, always contact us for a "TLC" number first to assure you get the quality service you deserve. |

I called them and since this was the smallest seat they made they could do it for cheaper than normal recover price. I thought someone could save money and recover it themselves |

It does look like a pretty reasonable repair that most people could handle if they spent a little time researching on youtube. The toughest part is that you'd likely need a heavy duty sewing machine to get through that leather. If you wanted the corbin shape but were ok with vinyl instead of leather, you could probably get by with a normal sewing machine if you take your time. |
