I have a Corbin seat, But it's not the "lady" version, and it's not comfortable at all for my "lady".

I wanted to get the foam reshaped, to more of an "ass" shape, instead of the smooth sloping back shape it is now.

I'm also considering adding a gel pad to the passenger seat, and possibly my seat too.

Anybody know of a good "affordable" place that will do this for me? Either in Ohio, or online.

Anybody have an opinion on the gel pads? Keep the factory Corbin HARD foam, or add a gel pad?

Start looking for a Gunfighter and Lady seat here and on eBay. You just missed one that sold in BadWeb Classifieds.
Once you get a replacement sell the solo seat you have to recoup the cost of the new seat.

If you're going to reshape a seat and add gel then consider buying a stock m2 seat to use as a starting point and then sell the Corbin.

It doesn't make sense to cut up the Corbin when you can get good money for it.

Take it to A-Tech Auto on Eakin Rd.
They have done 2 motorcycle seats for me, my Miata seats and my truck headliner. Quick and cost effective.

I sent my Uly seat to Spencer's, but he absolutely refuses to touch a Corbin seat.

Mike, there's buttbuffer.com. Check it out. You can send your seat in for them to modify. They use a medical grade gel.

If you're going to reshape a seat and add gel then consider buying a stock m2 seat to use as a starting point and then sell the Corbin.

Even though that is the more cost effective plan, I really like the looks of the Corbin (in-laid yellow flames), so I don't want to get rid of it.

Anybody have opinions on Gel? To do it or not to do it?

Oh, and thanks Wolf!
