Default Help to ID a seat.

I recently acquired a Corbin motorcycle seat. It doesn't have any markings, part-number, or tag (other than the Corbin tag). I contacted Corbin, but their rep was unable to identify the seat. I was hoping someone here might be able to help. Along with a few pics, here's a few measurements:
Overall length 27.5 inches
Widest section 11.5 inches
Passenger 9 inches long from edge to seam
Passenger 8 inches wide
6 inches from edge of seat to front mount
2 inches from edgeof seat to rear mount
With seat setting on flat, 3.5 inch rise from ground to bottom of passenger seat

The unique thing is the rear mount. I've not been able to find a bike that the seat attaches with this hook mount. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry i cant help you but a few suggestions incase no one here can help you.
1. Look on E-bay...Sometimes you can match a part from e-bay parts..
2. Take it to a swap and ask around.Those guys that deal at the swaps are incredible about parts. It its for metric it will be harder but they know their HD parts..Stock and aftermarket.
Good Luck and Welcome....

I've been checking out different seats from eBay and Craigslist. A lot of simular style, but nothing that matches the rear mount. I've posted on a metric forum too, hoping that might increase my odds. It's odd because Corbin usually etches the part number on the bottom of the pan. But this seat has nothing.

Looks like that rear mount has been bent into a "U" - that just wouldn't work with any model.

Must be an older seat. I have had two seats ordered from Corbin, my first one was a blue snake leather for a 2010 Suzuki s40 Boulevard in 2011, and I treated myself in March of 2013 to a Genuine Stingray Leather Hollywood Solo seat for my 2009 H-D XL883L, very expensive (a little over $700.00 w/ shipping to Maui) but worth every penny. If I recall correctly there was a tag w/ Corbin's mfg. info on the bottom of both seats. Also, although the Suzuki Seat did not have a lock, the Stingray Leather Seat had a lock on it to prevent theft. As I said, your seat could be from the early days of Corbin.

Since it's not new did it occur to you that maybe the previous owner added the rear mount and that it isn't in it's original configuration?
