Corbin Seat on A 2016 Eldorado

Meldrew said:
My Eldorado rider and passenger seats and Utopia backrest are in the Upholsterers to be re-shaped and recovered. I was fortunate enough to obtain a new rider and passenger seat at a good price so can still retain the originals if required. The cost I've been quoted is a fraction of changing to a Corbin and that includes what I paid for the spare seats. Will post pictures when I get them back.

Do you know if that place is willing to do more seats just like yours for an Eldorado? Do you have their contact info? Also, where did you get that backrest?…Is there any special modifications required to get it to mount?
Thanks in Advance!
 
He (Meldrew) lives in Menorca! It's one of Spain’s Balearic islands in the Mediterranean Sea. I am pretty sure he got the seat made in the UK though at Nostalgia Upholstery.

Probably very expensive to ship both ways and customs duties if you don't live in England. :eek:

Utopia backrests in the USA do the backrests(I won't put any links in case it breaks site rules) (Hope that's OK Todd) it's an easy enough job to fit yourself. Nostalgia Upholstery is based in the UK, all his 'stuff' is custom done to customers requirements, I just told him what design I wanted and the embroidered finish and what you see is the completed article. I'm sure he would be more than happy to do you're seats.
 
You can put links to non-competing products but just strip the "www." portion so that it is not a hyperlink, just like I did for nostalgia up 2 posts. Todd wants people to copy and paste it into another browser window so he's not paying for the data traffic to outside sites. Fair enough I think.

Thank you. Yes more than fair.
 
Is that Corbin saddle specifically for the Eldorado model ?
And of course I'm curious about the saddlebags too . Peter
 
Peter
I ordered a 1400 touring seat and added the Hepco & Becker sissybar/rack. I had Corbin reupholster the H&B pad to match seat.
The bags are H&B c-bow big buffalo saddlebags with matching trunk.
Scott
 
So that saddle just bolted up to the stock Eldorado ? No other changes needed ?
Thanks for getting back to me . Peter
 
Peter
Yes. However, if you want a backrest and/or rack H&B or possibly 1400 touring parts. I believe not sure.
Alex
Yes

Here is the Hepco Becker sissy bar backrest and luggage rack on my 2016 Audace. Remove the seat, remove the three bolts (1 in the middle of the fender, the other 2 on etiher side of the fender) and install it. Takes less than 5 minutes.

I've been told by Hepco & Becker that they don't make a C-Bow Mount system for the Audace. I see that you obviously made one work so can you elaborate on the modifications needed and can you please show a view from behind so I can see how far the bags stick out due to the shocks. Thank you.
 
From the positive comments here, I gave Corbin another chance and had them craft me a custom saddle for my Ducati Hyperstrada.

I am pleased with final product. I was pleasantly surprised.

It looks awesome and rides beautiful. I no longer totally smash my testicles on the fuel tank when braking vigorously. This is a Godsend to me.
