ha... that is fuggin hysterical!!... I was in Kansas City all last week, while the UPS dude brought box after box of goodies (J&M speakers and amp, Freedom 7" shield, Motorcycle Armor bag lid protectors)...  I get home and my wife says to me... "how much does all this cost?"... I respond " waaay less than that Louis Vitton bag that showed up last week!"   Not another word.


Now that is classic!

I'm in the pool this morning doing some laps thinking mods.  What comes to mind?  Dakota digital's on a spiced rum inner fairing and so I'm wondering how come I was happy when I bought the bike and now there's things missing.  Then it dawns on me that it's JCZ and his best buddy TEMPTATION who's going to take blame when I get in trouble with Max.  Maladjusted was right this is a baad place.

They describe that interim period of satisfaction as "post Delivery Euphoria" The time elapsing between writing the check and taking physical delivery!

Oh that was the Day!

I'm back to the days of hiding my credit card statements and hoarding cash - funnily enough reminds me when I got divorced

This may not work so well for a short rider.  Keep in mind that I'm 6'4".  A shorter rider may have to use the Corbin back rest (the tour pack has a mount location about another inch or so back).  For this purpose, I have it mounted in the forward position.

Jon's very short so while he really liked the touring pull back bars, he didn't get to experience riding while resting agains the tour pack like I do.

I am thinking of ordering the same KTP pad, do you have the part number, and did it require any additional mounting holes to be drilled? The factory middle mounting holes are off center as you know, and I am not sure if I want to start drilling more holes.

No new holes.  I'm not sure of the part number.......I've got six receipts from Cornin and they all have various part numbers and prices (no description).  Just call them and tell them that you need the part number for the King Tour pack in the solo position (with no arm rests).......or, better yet, just order it from Jim (hd-dude).  You get it cheaper from Jim than from Corbin, anyway!

Thanks I will be ordering thru HD-Dude I had no problems when I ordered my solo seat thru him a few months back  definitely the way to go. For now I found some plastic autobody plugs work great to cover the holes.
You've done some fantastic mods to your bike, I look forward to the next round.

Does the Corbin solo seat sit lower?

[JCZ]

Does the Corbin solo seat sit lower?

Yes, you sit a bit lower (maybe an inch) and back a bit from stock position (unless you order the close reach seat).

Another difference between ordering from Hd-Dude. Mine sits about an inch higher. But I have the heated seat. I should have had them take another inch off it

Interesting......maybe I'm getting older faster than I realized.   They're all made from the same mold and I didn't have any taken off and I've got the heated pad also.  But if you take the Corbin and sit it on your garage floor next to your stock seat, I believe the Corbin is lower and back.

I'm 6'4" so I noticed it to be a much more relaxed feel in the riding position.

I've the same experience as TJ... I'm slightly higher and slightly further back. 6'1". The Corbin is firmer than the stock seat and (1) doesn't compress like the the stock and (2) doesn't have that weak pan that drops into the space underneath... I love my Corbin and am grateful I waited on bars until the Corbin was on.

I can barely touch flat footed now and before I was flatfooted easily. When I was at Corbin I asked to have at least a quarter inch taken off and you'd have thought I was asking for the moon. I'll get down to the lock, you'll have to pay for a recover cause it will look to bad, etc. I finally just gave up about it. I Can reach good enough. If I get back there they will fix it. If I have to pay for a recover, fine. I wont get back till next year unless something happens that I have to ride down near.

I've received my corbin solo today.  There's no question that I've moved up an inch, but back at the same time.  I've just done 30 miles and cannot for the life of me think of going back to the stock seat.  I'm 6'5" and it's a great seating position now to the point that the bars will most likely stay and the monkey's have taken a back seat.   Cheers
