The Corbin Seat liiks Great! how would you compare it to the stock Seat?

[Mandrew13]

Alright- this excites me. I can have a great solo seat and still have the flexibility to take my daughter for short rides.
Thanks for sharing.

Headlight is 7 inch diameter and as well as holder , both are from Road King as far as I remember.
I'm not 100% sure, guys from HD service made it.
I'm 100% sure there is no special adapter to mount it.
All the change was done during one hour.
Headlamp is moved little bit  to the front of the bike compare to the original 5 inch CVO headlamp.

I´m very sorry guys I wrote wrong info regarding main and auxilliary lamps.

Today I asked guys from HD Bratislava and they explain me that :

Head lamp is from FatBoy

Auxilliary lamps are from Softail.

Holders for auxilliary lamps are from PanHead.

For me Corbin Seat is much better choice compare to original HD seat.

Corbin seat :
1. Little bit harder
2. Aprox 2 inch cruder, means You are sitting 2inch higher
3. Shape of the Corbin seat is much more comfortable, no pain of my back anymore.
4. Backrest is genial.
5. Much better riding and handlbar possition 

In my opinion very good investment.

I think you did great with the pictures and all that.  very informative.  thank you for taking the time to post them all.  we all learn from people's postings and sometimes that gives us ideas for other problems or issues that have not been solved so far.  thanks again.  Pork.

Thanks for the feedback 
I have been looking for an aftermarket seat for a while and the Corbin seems to be the only one out there for the Convertible!
Looks like ill have to give it a try!

Thanks again for your pictures.  It looks like the corbin solo seat is in my future too.

Got my rear bag guards on without an adapter.  They turned them upside down and put the right on the left and vice versa.

Mrs. C:  Seriously??  are you kidding all of us?? 
You're saying you have a '12 stock convertible, and you took stock softail saddlebag guards, turned them upside down and backwards from the original instructions, and they fit perfectly?   If you say  "yes", I am all over that!!!   Pork.

[porkypig]

On close observation, they certainly "look" like they are installed correctly.  Maybe I am not seeing what I should be seeing. 

[Mrs C]

Pork!  As per HD tech, they are indeed upside down and on opposite sides.  They work for me and look great!  I had printed off the pictures above and he said right away that his way should work.  I just happily paid the man :-)

But you're right!  They do look the same...but definately there is no adaptor used.
