Things I don't like about my Corbin seat set
Written by ascterransin on 8/24/2010 at 04:11 am

Phil,

I can't believe you're talking to "some guy in NY" about checking out your
Corbin when I'm 20 minutes away. I don't even bother using the two bolts to hold
down the front seat because it's wedged in so well. But I'm able to slip my seat
in and out with just a moment of deliberate alignment of the raised trunk with
the front seat at the right angle just for a pico second long enough to clear
the tab under the seat.

Perhaps this weekend we could meet up and I'll demonstrate? That is if you're
not tied up with the PC800 Loud Pipes Support Group...

I'm quite happy with the firmness of my Corbin but I'm considering adding a
beaded seat to alleviate the water dam effect during rain rides. But if you
already have the AirHawk you ought to get your money's worth and use it.

enough to remove the front seat. I can get to the two bolts in the driver's seat
okay, but can't pull the front seat off while the back seat is installed.
