Does anybody know if a Corbin (Chip Beck spec) will fit on 2014 Deluxe? Corbin sales was not sure because of the larger tank.

I think you are probably going to have to find someone in your area with a Corbin seat and actually try it on your bike to know for sure. I doubt someone with a Deluxe is going to take a chance and order a non-returnable $450 seat if they don't know it will fit. I doubt the Chip Beck specifications will effect the fitment of the seat, mostly comfort and styling I think so any Corbin saddle should serve the purpose.

Yes, it will fit. See here:

Ok. Ordered the "Chip Beck" version today, except left in both the passenger and driver seat back inserts. Also set logo stitching color to be black (figured black on black would be less obvioius and have embossed look). Thanks again to Mr Beck for the design and everyone else's feedback.

Be sure to post some pics when you get that bad boy mounted!

Will do ... Corbin said it would be 6 weeks because the Chip Beck version doesn't have stitching. I would have thought it would take less time, but maybe the stitching is how the curves/shape are created and they have to use a longer/manual forming method to create the curves/shape. Whatever.

It's probably because they have the other ones in stock to ship, but a custom one has to be manufactured. BTW, I think the Chip Beck spec seat is perfect. If I didn't find a great deal on a beautiful used K&H seat, the Beck spec would have been the seat I would have bought. Looking forward to seeing the pics.
I have ordered Corbins in the past, and I seem to remember 6 weeks is the standard delivery time, although they usually show up sooner.
