Took my CB1100 “Chip Beck” spec Corbin seat up to Corbin plant to have them make a custom ST1300 seat for me with same butt geometry. [Image: b1b57841717513877cd04caa2c6ef861.jpg]
Just met owner and chatted about stuff… started business in 1968. Had a production 2 seat car called Sparrow in the 1970’s… was ahead of it’s time … battery tech was obviously an issue. Only made 500 units. Mike Corbin is a really cool guy. Told me to walk thru the replant (unescorted) and check everything.

Really cool place, reminds me a little of going to the OCC museum here in NY to see all the choppers they've built over the years.

Where is the corbin factory?
