After many attempts and finally discovering that all I needed was a couple of 3/16" spacers on the front seat mounting bolts between the seat and the grab rail to keep it from twisting and binding the saddlebag release levers. Glad that is behind me. Everything works perfectly.
This seat looks great and after a full day of riding it feels great.
Whew!

Hey PBlair (Phil),Originally Posted by pblair
My Corbin is on order and should be in at the end of the month. I have had 3 other Corbins and have had similar issues with having to tweak the saddles to fit right. Based on what you did, are those 3/16" spacers you mentioned just washers? Could you post a few photos of your installed seat? I had a few calls to one of Corbins Sales Guys and he tried to get me to go with the Distressed Bomber Jacket Leather but I decided to go with the standard Mercedes Black Leather with Asphalt Vinyl Panels.
Thanks...

Just a couple of washers on each side. You may not need them but if you do, it is super easy (I can say that now). I got the same seat you have coming. You are gonna love it.Hey PBlair (Phil),

Phil, GLAD to hear that it was a simple adjustment. This is normal for some Corbin seats. Looks very nice
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
I think the biggest takeaway from these pics, is that you guys still have leaves on your trees! Seat looks great, and by the looks of your trees, you've got the perfect weather to break it in!
Seat looks NICE!!!!!!!
I wish Corbin seats 'worked' for me.
Leaves on the trees, the grass is green and the lawn boys just left. I am going riding. It is all good except June, July, August and sometimes September when it is too hot to ride very far.

Spoke to Corbin this past week and they have no intentions of changing the seat pan. So if you want to take your side panels off, to get at your battery, the seat must be removed. Normally this wouldn't be an issue to remove two bolts. But if you have a rear rack or back rest then that has to be removed first, PIA. Love the seat but I'm not happy about this result.

I agree with my NJ F6B rider Frank.The only thing different for me is I owned a Spyder for 3 years and the battery was just as bad of a spot to get to.So I will
cross my fingers and hope I do not have to get to the battery while on the road.
Ride it like you stole it
Phil, Awesome...thanks for the photos! Another two weeks and mine should be in!
