    Corbin Smuggler

    I bought the solo saddle and trunk from Billy who won it in the raffle at the F6B gathering this year.
    Took me a few minutes to figure it out, but we're all sorted now.
    The left saddlebag release doesn't function with the provided push tab thing on it, no biggie.
    Everything else is on secure and the seat feels nice as it locks my tush in place - no more sliding about up that vertical angle.
    It also puts me a bit further forward and my Kury Ergos fit better.

    I didn't realize that the seat was heated. Major bonus.

    Gonna take it out tomorrow and let my tush and the seat get acquainted. My Heritage has a Corbin which I like, so hopefully this will be fine too.
    Not the best pic in the world:

    Those Smugglers sure look sweet on the 6. My wife would kill me for going solo though.

    Corbin seat

    Put just under a hundred miles on the girl today....seat and tush got along well.
    The Corbin has a more vertical slope than the stock seat and I felt better "anchored" for "Sport" mode.
    I am about an inch further forward, about the same height, and more wind goes over my helmet.
    Rode through New Hope - where all the bikers gather for various reasons - and got PLENTY of stares and more than a few questions.
    'Twas awesome.
    Amazing bike. Yes, someone said space aliens designed it, I'm inclined to agree.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    If I remember it has a trunk? If so how about some pictures of it open?

    I got a great deal on a dual tour from someone here. He had it reupholstered in black velour. The Corbin seats were my favorite in the looks department, but I was worried about the known firmness of their seats. Because of this, and my experience with the Ultimate seats for the Valkyrie, I was inclined to go that route until I came upon the deal I got. So glad. The seat is extremely comfortable for me.

    Four 2 liter bottles? I don't think so.
    Four 8oz water bottles? Probably.
    I'll get some bottles and take pics tomorrow.

    Currently: iPad, heavy gloves, light gloves, reflective vest.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    PS - that weird coloration in the top pic is lighting....the finish by Corbin is very nice.
