Corbin Seat Install?

[ocat-RR]

Hey guys just picked up the seat tonight.:banana:
The problem I am having is it seems the tabs on the rear seat are too wide? Has anyone else had a issue?

Thanks

I have a Corbin on my bike no dramas, just looked and the Riveted rear fingers arnt very well lined up i have mine at 232mm wide against my stock seat is 224mm.
Must say that im pretty unhappy with the build quaility of this seat

For the price I thought they would have had a excellent product.
I guess you don't always get what you pay for.

Do you think it would be ok to grind down the tabs?

Should be Ok , how much do you need to remove.
You have a few options.
1 Grind to suit
2 Drill out Rivets and see if can flip over as holes on mine arnt cental to plate, or just run bigger drill through holes to elongate
3 Make new fingers for it .

I have the Corbin panniers and the mounting brackets are of the standard expected from a High school student..

Did a couple searches about Corbin Passenger Seats , common not to fit proper and some people complain about the shape as well .

I love my corbin, even though its a battle to get the right side bolt started, but it was a battle with the factory seat too!....I only have the drivers saddle, not the passenger...I cant seem to put up with anyone long enough to care about making their ride that comfy....or wanting someone back there for that long of trip!!!!!

The rear seat was cool the first time I put it on---but not so much the next couple of times. For me it was just a matter of getting the groove of the motion down---but I've got to agree that it could have been easier. It's not like these things are 50 bucks on JC Whitney or somthin!!

I figured it out, I was just trying to put it on at too steep of a angle.
Had to grind out some of the seat so that the latch would lock but after that all was good.

Thanks Everyone
