Title: just got a corbin two up seat
Post by: BP on July 30, 2012, 08:55:53 AM
I just got a corbin 2 up for my 1500. Any recommendations for passenger floor boards? I was also wondering what kind of saddle bags and brackets I need to get. any body have extra passenger pegs or bags for sale? (working on a pretty tight budget btw)

Oh yeah, and does anybody know what size bolts I need to mount the seat? I tried 10-1.25 and 10-1.5. I thought could get them cheaper if I didnt have to go to the dealership.

Remember you MUST have the underlying hardware - ie the seat bracket to support this seat. Corbin's are strong but you need the two up seat bracket for proper support!


Here's some info. ...

You have the right passenger peg bracket, but need a left one. (If you are going to replace the pipes, ensure you come here and ask about that mod before you buy your pipes).


I have a set of Kuryakyn boards, with their hardware. I had to work on them a bit to make the more secure.


I use the seat bolts that came with the bike. They are a bit tricky at first, but get easier as time goes by. Bags with a Corbin seat takes a bit of work. There are none that will simply bolt in place. The way the seat is made interferes with the strut and loop setup of the F&S hardware.

thanks chief,
A 2 up frame came with the seat (i bought it used), but I didn't get any bolts with it. Already got some nice pipes that I am happy with. too bad about the bags.
