I'll jump right in on to this one 'cause I like an early morning bitch with my coffee. My first GTS Corbin came to me after 7 weeks substandard (even though they had heard from me and my desires 3 times after my order was placed.....just to make sure they understood)! Well, after reaming my contact a new one over the phone my next step was to get a hold of Mr. Mike himself who happened to be in a meeting but his second in command intercepted my call and promised to take care of me if only I "gave him a chance".
Two days later (they musta burned midnight oil) I had ANOTHER brand spanking new to MY specs seat that I've been happy since. The first seat I could keep as a spare or send back he said. I am not a charity case I said, I'd sent it back to you but they would have to pick up shipping. I also told him I was in a good mood so I wouldn't charge them handling. Would I buy another from them? Yes but I'd go straight to the top with my order. Their products are heavy but hold up well and my bubble butt thanks me each and every time I ride my bikes.
