What was the issue with Corbin from another thread? Something about trimming the rear of the pillion pad properly to fit or something. I can't remember what it was or which thread it was in here. I thought it was in your bike thread but my OCD wont allow me to go through it page by page.
Yes, if you have a quick release tour pack the back of the pillion pad has to be shaved forward a bit to allow the tour pack to be removed (the tour pack tips up and forward to remove and it hits the back/top of the pillion). I've had a couple other members of this forum send me their pillions after Jenni had sent them back a couple times......to get them done right.
Also, do to the pan of the pillion and the way it fits the fender (over a spike that's inserted where the stock screw did go in the fender), you can not use a stealth rack with a Corbin pillion. They just weren't able to shave it down to that degree without compramising the seat pan. But, like somebody else here said, the stealth rack really isn't large enough and lacks tie down points to be practical as a luggage rack and you're not going to need a luggage rack if you have a tour pack......unless you're riding solo. The MoCo does make a nice solo luggage rack that works very well and keeps your load off of the paint.
By the way, one of the pillions (I'll not mention whose it was, unless he wants to tell you) that Jenni had supposedly sent back a couple of times......they showed me when they pulled the cover off of it, that it had never been shaved down (still had the mold edges on it) and they claim it was never been sent back to them. They shaved it and recovered it for free, as they have the corrections for the others that I've taken back to them.
You might get a bit bigger discount from Jenni but I think a number of members here will tell you that you'll have to send it back at least once to get it right. If you want a seat done right the first time, you should order through Jim (hd-dude on this forum). He knows CVOs and the oddotities of our bikes better than anybody else and knows how to communicate that to Corbin, over the phone.
It's some of the issues that people have, ordering over the phone or the internet or through a third party vendor is why I posted the pictures above.......just to give you guys a little more info. via photos.
Sure hope I'm not adding to the confusion.
One thing is for sure........when these guys all get there problems ironed out and are happy with their seats, I think they'd all tell you that Corbin seats are the best seat out there. I know first hand.......I've rode coast to coast on a Corbin and never had the sweat, the pressure points, the monkey butt, tail bone issues........none of it......not even the slightest discomfort! I'm just damn glad the factory is here in Nor Cal!
