2 corbin on Ebay
I just purchased one and there are 2 left so I thought I would post the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35589&item=2418859100
I went ahead and did it since it seems they have a pretty good feedback rating, so anyone looking here you go.

Damn, I just did this purchase no more than 10 minutes ago and just received an email from the guy saying that the seat would ship tommorrow. Now that's what I call quick, heck I could have it on by the beginning of next week  .

...I like the way my okole feels during long-ass (pun!) rides...I really believe that if I had heli-bars installed I could do longer than an 8-hour day ride...maybe 12~16hrs (like from here to Dino's)...roomy and comfortable...
...I hear the skinny guys have the hardest (pun!) time with it though, so if you're a lightweight EAT MORE SPAM MUSUBI!!!!

Hope you dont have Dinos seat hinge..otherwise you'll be removing the hinge or hacking up the Corbin.

i eat & eat & eat & it dont help! and yeah, the stock seat definitely sucks for the bony-butted. it's fine at 6/10s or over cause u'r not really sittin in the seat, at least not in one position, but it's killer on the I5. i'm convinced i'll hafta get one custom made by the corbin factory tho. i'v sat on zhooligan's corbin, and while it was an improvement, it still ditn realyl fit me. tend to move u back also, which i definitely dont like.

I just put Dino's seat hinge on (which is the greatest thing since sliced bread) so I am a little concerned about the seat fit, not to mention whether or not the Corbin was going to fit me. Zhoo offered me the opportunity to sit on his, unfortunatley I haven't had the time to get over and see him. I figured the price was good enough that if I decide it wont work I can sell it to someone else. I am somewhat short at 5'7", but definetly not lacking in the ass department at 190lbs. I was a competitive powerlifter for some time so I kinda built up the lower end. I am hoping that the Corbin doesn't sit me too far back or like Freek, I may have to get one custom made.
So Wormey, was the modifications pretty easy? I didn't really look at Dino's instructions that covered the Corbin so I don't know what I'm getting in for.
Oh and by the way, I stopped at L&L drive-in and got me some Chicken Katsu and Spam Musubi, MMMmmmm good.

...BASTIGES!!!...I going get some pork adobo and kalua pig at Kealani's tomorrow...broke da' mout!...
...(ahem)...anyway (for the pidgin-impaired ), Dino and I just marked where the high point of the arms on the hinge touched the seatbase (as you close the seat) and took a holesaw bit and cut out a couple of reliefs (where we marked) out from the seatbase...EASY DOES IT!!!...YOU DON'T WANT TO DRILL THROUGH THE FOAM AND THROUGH THE SEAT COVER...JUST DRILL ENOUGH OUT OF THE SEAT BASE TO CLEAR THE ARMS!!!...the high points now sit inside the reliefs (I wish I could take a digipic of it to show you)...that's the best explanation I can give you, brah...
...you owe me a Primo and some puu-puus
