Hi Bob,
I have a mint cond. stock seat that came extra with my GTS (previous
owner put the Corbin seat on that I ride with). Make me a decent offer and
it's yours.
R. Fletcher
Has anyone got a stock GTS-1000 seat they would like to sell? Contact
Bob Higbee at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also, any info on removing the flapper under the gas tank filler cap would be
appreciated. I own a '93 GTS-1000 in mint condition with 11,000 miles on it
that I purchased two months ag
There is an upholstery place in Tempe, AZ. All the materials cost about
$15.00.

Has anyone done any riding in the rain with their carbon-fiber leather
corbin. I'm just wondering how it held up. It looks rather porous.

Yes!
Some artistic talent would be needed...

could see the contact points on the "leather". I
actually took some measurements from the seat supports

Just drill the rivets and pull the material back a
little so you can access the lower edge, hold it there
with tape and side grind/Dremmel the fiberglass (I
used one of those discs that fit on your drill).
SMOOTH the edges before pulling the fabric back
over!!I put rivets of differing sizes back
Chris, I couldn't agree more. The Corbin is a great seat for me and my
wife.
Is your bike still for sale?
Thanks again,

The best corbin color for my 94 GTS was carbon fiber leather.
I purchased my GTS with a corbin seat included. The fit is good and I like

(the original owner kept the original seat which has never been used) and
the corbin looks great.

Thanks Kevin and everyone. The problems reported are a worry but I think I'm
going ahead with the Corbin anyway. For me the biggest problem with the
stock seat is the sloping passenger seat which gives the passenger sore
legs, knees etc from trying to resist forward movement. This also see

How do you grind off the bottom edge? Do you remove and replace all the
upholstery?

they are vastly over rated. I sent one back 3 times and they still didn't

I just got a black simulated leather look Corbin from Chris Caputo on

a major improvement for comfort.

Any decent upholsterer ought to be able to do the job for you. Ask your
dealer who does good work on MC saddles. I've had 2 inches or so added to
my saddle.

Anyone know where I could find a used Corbin with backrest. It's going to be
custom upholstered, so all I really need is the pan and the backrest. If you

Well, Louis, you saw that issue before I did. Sheesh.
The seat is dished out, and it's maybe a half-inch lower. You can tell Bill what you
want. I had him do my ST1100 seat, wasn't 100% happy and sent it back to make it,
among other things, a bit higher. The next time it came back

I have a stock seat which is virtually brand new (approx. 3,000 miles
on-it). I replaced-it with a Corbin, therefore its just the seat, no
hardware. I would be willing to sell it for $100, but buyer also pays
the shipping. If anyone is interested, let me know.

If you want to really hop up the performance of any motorcycle you ever ride,
try a high-performance riding school.
I was lucky enough to take Freddie Spencer's school in Las Vegas last
week. (www.fastfreddie.com) and it's quite an awesome experience. Too bad
they can't do if for less money
