Default My New Seat

Well after reading every ones coments about Corbin seats I decieded I would get one made so I obught a seat from USA cost $ 12.95 Aus then had it shipped to Australia $ 49.95 then took the shell to my local guy and he charged me $ 150.00 Aus to reform and cover it, so what do you think and by the way its very comfy lifted me up in the seat a little, and the best thing of all my wife doesnt slip into my back when we have to stop.

After I found the seat in USA it took 3 days for the auction to finish then 10 days from USA to Australia then 2 days at my local guy. So it wasnt too long at all, PLUS I have my original seat as well. The next photos you will see from me are hopefully this week, and they will be the back rest that will match the seat except my backrest attaches to the Gear Sac rack that is held by two pins so when you are travelling you simply take the two pins out remove the backrest and then take the gear sac bag off with your cloths etc it them and then place the backrest back onto the bike. I am having it curved in the back to match my wifes back plus a lip on the top so should look good and be comfy for her. Stay Tuned it should be good.

She really likes it and the fact that she doesnt squirm around on the back is great for me

I agree. It is a big plus not to have your passenger ramming up against you all the time.

Yours looks great and it is original.
