Things I don't like about my Corbin seat set
Written by yankeesmuggler on 8/23/2010 at 05:12 pm

The drivers's back rest is completly removable and does require a bit
of a tug at the end. The trunk has to be open and held at about 45
degrees while sliding the driver's seat back to release the front of
it. There is definitely a removal technique required.. it's a Corbin
so I wouldn't expect it to be easy:-)

I used to trade driver's seats all the time with people who thought
they might want to buy a Corbin.

Maybe I can check it out at Willie's ride, or on the way down.
