Hi Dale,
I just want to let you know that I'm over the moon with the Holeshot seat on my GSX 650 F Bandit, it is so comfortable & it's completely improved the entire experience of riding my bike. I will recommend your products to all my friends & family.

Hi Dale,
Just a note to tell you how impressed I am by the Holeshot/ Corbin Bandit 1250 seat. The stock seat is one of the most uncomfortable seats I have ever ridden on and I have owned many motorcycles over the years. Your Holeshot/ Corbin seat is a welcome fix for this problem. The contour of your seat fits my body perfectly and adds support where needed. (no hot spots) I`m not a little guy either, 6ft, 280lbs and 75 years old.

Hi Dale
I rode my Bandit 1250 to NC and back--540 miles one way testing your Holeshot / Corbin seat. It fit me like a glove. My old 1200 corbin was a '2 position' seat meaning I could sit a tad too far forward or a tad too far back. But this seat sits me in a pocket just right. Not issues with knees, seating position, hot spots or hard spots. Money well spent! Thanks for an excellent product and service!!!!

Hi Dale,
I am very pleased with the quality of the Holehsot / Corbin seat i
purchased for my GSX-650 F. It has a very solid base, wonderfully
detailed upholstery, and matches the lines of the bike
beautifully. Initially, there were some difficulties with the
shape of the factory Corbin seats, but I am very impressed with the
work Dale has done to contour this seat to meet his expectations.
I have been on a number of long rides with it and have not had any
discomfort. The support behind the drivers seat facilitates
maintaining an upright posture. My girlfriend says it is also very
comfortable in the pillion position and she really loves the
backrest. I have had alot of very positive comments from other
riders who have seen the bike at Biketoberfest, various group
rides, and at bike nights. I am very pleased with this seat, but
then again, I would expect nothing less from a "Holeshot" product.

Hi Dale,
I've now had my Holeshot Corbin Seat for about a month.
I don't regret the purchase at all and sincerely thank Dale for the extra effort he went to to be able to send it down to Australia. Shoe horning it into the box to get it under the maximum size allowed by UPS must have been fun.
I have now done about 1600km or 1000 miles on it including a long weekend away with over 1000km done on the one trip, and I am as pleased as ever. Though I still get sore hips and knees and for that I have to blame my arthritis and not the seat, the general comfort is great, so much better than the stock brick that Suzuki put on the bike. It has been excellently made and the fine tuning of the Corbin seat by Dale suits me perfectly.It is just a bit lower than the stock seat and I can almost flat foot when stopped. Coupled with some handlebar risers, the riding position is about as perfect as it can be and i can now ride for much longer without a break than i could before.
Here's the Holeshot Corbin enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
Thanks David from down under

Hey Dale, I wanted to say thanks for a great seat!!! I finally got to take it for a ride a few days ago and the bike is so much more comfortable now. The seat looks really good on the bike too. My wife told me how she had to sweet talk you into ordering it for her before Christamas. You are the man!! Thanks so much.

WOW! What more can I say. I just installed Dale's seat, sport rack and nerf bars. First, I'd like to comment on how quickly the parts were shipped (thanks Dale).
Second, the seat is absolutely fantastic. I now sit "in" the bike rather than "on" it. Just got back from a 100 mile ride, and it sooo much better than the stocker. If any of you are considering an aftermarket seat, I highly recommend Dale's. As a side note, I am 6'4" and weigh 210, 36 inch inseam. I will give another impression of the seat after I put some more miles on it. Did I mention how good the seat looks? Dale, you and the Corbin guys do excellent work! Great design and flawless execution.
The nerf bars are high quality, beautifully finished and a breeze to install. Very clear and detailed instuctions were included. I anticipated that the long bolt passing through the front of the engine would be difficult to pass through, but it went in like butter. Extremely happy with the results. These little gems look great.
Finally, the Sport Rack really sets off the tail section. What a nice piece. Same high quality as evident on the nerf bars. Again, installation was a snap, and all hardware is top quality stainless (same for the hardware supplied with the nerf bars).
Dale, I'm looking forward to a few more parts to install. Will definitely order the exhaust system when available. Thanks for all your hard work in keeping our bandits looking good and running fast.

I have ridden on many different custom seats in the coarse of 45 years or riding and this has included several custom made Corbins. But the seat that Dale Walker and the Corbin people have put togather far excedes anything that I have sat on before.
Perfect fit for my height at about 5'6" and a 29 inch inseam, comfortable from the first ride and Corbins generally take some
break in, but not with this seat.
I have run a continous 120 mile run with the seat and no discomfort
at all. I have had my very picky wife on the back with the back rest option and her comments were, "this is very comfortable and one of the best seats you have had".
In addition to my comments, my 3 riding companions, 22, 23 and 25
year olds that think only sport bikes are the way to ride have ridden on this bike with and without this saddle, first comments, " this seat is great" didn't say anything about my poor 1250, just
the seat.
A job well done Dale and I would highly recommend this seat to anyone.
