corbin flat seat for a 2002 klr

[hotrodkawi]

I was just thinking this morning on my ride how much I love my Corbin Flat seat..I have about 2000 miles on mine and it seems to be getting better with age. I do feel it cradles my a$$ quite nicely. Oh by the way I just installed some "grip puppies" Love them.. I installed them over my stock type grip and I like the way they feel..well see how long they last.. Rodney

Your left foot will pivot on the left peg You'll find you will have plenty of clearance w/this technique...unless you are carrying the Effiel tower on your pillion=:-) > > > > > Jake > Reddick Fla. > Vagrant, vagabond, transient, hobo, bum.

I was told by Nina that I'd have to pay for it in advance as it would have to be special made and then would be shipped to me from Salinas. I paid for it, and expected to wait up to 8 weeks for it (up to one month wait time from factory and then delays via the military postal service.) > > > > Less than a month later the Corbin arrived. The workmanship is a very high level, and the fit was nearly perfect. One side lined up perfectly, and the the other was perhaps a millimeter or two off (very small deviation). > > > > I've got about 400 miles on it now, and I believe it to be breaking/broken in. At first I was surprised at how it didn't meet my expectations of 'cradling my buttocks in exquisite Corbin splendor' (my bro has a RoadKing and he brags about his princess a$$), but after a couple rides, I quite enjoy the comfort of the seat. Compared to the stock seat which I could ride for 20 mins before getting hot spots, the Corbin is very comfortable. It is also wider than stock, so I'm now on tippy toes, but that's bearable. I also drag my right foot getting on and off. but that could be because of the Krauser 40 liter bags I've recently installed. Could also be because I'm getting shorter. > > > > The price was in the vic of $350.00 or so, and the military discount provided took care of the shipping charges. > > > > Anyhow. I can't refute anyone's claims/complaints about these seats, but I like mine, it fit near perfectly, and I'd buy it again. > > > > Harry > > >
