WOW, you didn't have far to go. I also have a seat thread going, I'm interested to see the finished product and hear the cost. Thanks for posting.

I'm also interested in seeing a finished product. Planning on hopefully buy a NC700 next summer when the 2013's come out. I checked into Corbin as that has been what I've run on every cruiser I've had (have). They said they have no plans on making one for this bike, but they would do a custom for me. Since they are in CA and I'm in AZ it would be a good excuse for a road trip. Where is Kingston? If it's Washington State that would be an even better road trip. I'm looking to have something made that will be slightly lower than stock.

Here is the finished product. It is dark grey leather trimmed out with black leather.
Rich moved his shop from the Seattle area to the small town of Kingston about 4 years ago so I am fortunate for him to be only 5 miles from my house. I think he said he tries to do 7 bikes a day and he works 5 days a week so if you do the math he does over 1000 bikes a year. This is custom-fitted to my bottom.
Yes, several want to know the price. Here is how the invoice broke out --
Solo Custom Fitting with gel pad -new seat cover $450
Leather Cover Upgrade $150 (the base price above is a vinyl cover)
Recovered Rear Seat to Match $175
Washington State Sales Tax of 8.60% $66.66
Total $841.66
I will try to gather up the rest of the photos and get them in my gallery this weekend. I will post when they are up.

Wow, SP! Nice. I wish I was close to them because I would have them do mine (and make it about an inch shorter). It sucks because there is no one close that I know of that does this. I would hate mail-order as I wouldn't know exactly what I would be getting. Oh well. If that is my only gripe on the bike, then Honda did good for me!
Looks great.
