- April 20, 2014, 20:22:53 PMThanks ratman , I too like the all silver emblems a lot better . All the items I put on today are accessories I've purchased since December , when first learning of pilgrims sale of such bike . I think I'll be adding the directional visors as well soon , being I like the appearance they gave after seeing them installed on your ride last year

I changed out the two-up to the solo seat today and man what a HUGE difference on posture and comfort , not to mention the beauty of those big fenders .

- April 13, 2014, 15:04:58 PMQuote from: Drift1 on April 13, 2014, 14:07:45 PMI haven't tried to sit in the passenger seat yet, but my wife says its just awkward and you really have to slouch in a weird position to be able to use the backrest. I want my wife to enjoy our riding together, so I either buy a new seat or try to fix the existing seat. I would really rather not buy a new seat, so I think I will do my best to try and flatten it out a bit.Reveen , It's funny you mention the back seat . I sat on the back to see if the back portion pushed you forward and man I dam there slid out the seat . The bottom portion of the seat slides the passenger so forward I couldn't even touch the back rest . This seat is definately poorly designed .
PC I'm packing this dam seat up and sending it your way this winter so at least you have one project on the bike list
Also I would like to mention the handle bars on the 800 seem to be a little wider and angled out . I like the bars on the 800 much more , so the new beach bars are definately going on the 1500 for a winter project .
The handlebars that are on my 1500 are very wide and comfortable (now that I added some pullback risers)

- April 13, 2014, 14:56:28 PMQuote from: greenbarn on April 13, 2014, 12:49:24 PMI would agree with you, though I'm no expert. I just know what worked on mine. To be fair though, I hogged out the inner foam on mine (that was quite hard) and replaced about 2 1/2" - 3" under the gel pad with some fairly dense foam rubber that would have more "give" then the stock Corbin foam. I then placed the gel pad over that, and then a lite foam over that for minor contouring, kind of using it like thick batting. In the end, I changed my seating area quite a bit without altering the shape.[ot]This could be a good "how to" post. A buddy has a new-to-him Corbin Stinger he just put on his Honda A.C.E. He said it hurts his tailbone. We rode to see a seat guy yesterday looking at recovering a seat for me. He looked at the buddy's seat and made a comment "gel doesn't make a seat more comfortable - it just cuts down on vibration so you don't get numb-but". Do you agree with that? I didn't want to argue with the guy (he's the expert) but it seams to me that if you have a pressure point, then putting gel in there would reduce the pressure on that point and the seat would then indeed be more comfortable. Of course, if the shape of the seat is wrong (tilt forward, whatever) you would need to address that as well. Any thoughts??
My buddy is considering taking his cover off and hogging out the spot where his tailbone hits, and see if that helps. I think he should try gel. [/ot]
The gel pad alone would cut down on vibrations, like the man said, but it also contours to your "shape" a little. It's semi firm though, so it doesn't have a lot of give. That's why I did the foam replacement under the gel pad as well.
