Under the skirt the back part of the pan curves down for the skirt to ride on...that's where I had to trim, it was hitting the top of the saddlebag struts.

I think I would call the folks at Corbin to find out why yours was so difficult. I have a 2000 1500 which bike you riding?

- May 12, 2016, 17:34:54 PMGot my new Corbin in the mail today...man, for a $400 seat you would think it would be bolt and go, not so.
The rear of the pan was resting down on the saddlebag support brackets and would not let the seat lower enough to bolt up. I had to peel the leather back and cut off about an inch of the pan for it to clear.
Had to install a washer under the front large washer to raise it a little and file a little off the large washer so the flat piece on the seat would slide under.
Got it installed finally...shew.
I'll post a pic soon, stormin' here now.
