corbin seat for CB1100 ???

I didn't have as good an experience with a Corbin seat. I bought a 01 Kawasaki ZR7-s in 2006 and one of the first accessories I got was a Corbin seat. I had heard good things about them so I gave it a shot.
When I received it it was unusually hard ( from sitting on a shelf for a few years) and difficult to latch. I rode to work the next day and when I got home the cover had detached from the foam around the seam that ran across the rear of the front section. I didn't return it because I had purchased it from the local m/c dealer and would have had to go through them and pay return shipping. After some thought I decided to buy another seat directly from Corbin and try to find out what went wrong with the first one. I discovered that the cover for the original seat was made too short and they bowed the base and stretched the cover to make it fit. When I removed the rear rivets the base sprang back to it's original shape and would latch properly. The cover was about 1 1/2 " too short. When the new seat arrived it was MUCH softer and fit perfectly but it was never very comfortable to me, probably because it was so sculpted.
A few years later I kept hearing many complaints about Corbin, some about quality and some about customer service. I'm not saying anyone shouldn't buy a Corbin, just buy directly from them. If you buy "off the rack" so to speak that seat could be years old.
