I was on Slingmods a week or so ago looking at sale items (tempted by the Pedal Commander, it's on sale right now) and started looking at luggage options. I compared the racks that mount to the roll loop vs. the Corbin bags that mount under the rear. My wife was looking over my shoulder and commented on how nice the Corbin bags looked, but I balked at the $3500 price tag. Today I started doing more reading on the Corbin bags and saw a handful of posts here saying the fit and finish just was not worth the price tag, complaints of blistering and cracking, people who had to "fix" the latch because it did not stay closed, the lack of waterproofiness, and poor customer service at Corbin. I mentioned this to my wife and jokingly said, "If you were planning on getting me those for my birthday, don't." She got an odd look on her face, then said she made an inquiry because my model color was not on the list. I remembered her saying that earlier this week she had taken the Slingshot out of the garage to take pictures of it "for a friend who also has one." (She also took it for a spin around the block - well can ya blame her? ) I am wondering if the pics were also for the inquiry, and she has one on order but now is afraid to tell me.
Most of the posts I read are from 2017-2018. Has anyone purchased one more recently and has a different opinion, or is it still "run away! run away!" I have a feeling I might be stuck with one in a few weeks...
