I got the new Corbin Gunfighter seat with backrest in today. No time for a ride yet since I ran out of time putting it on. It looks really good though. It would have been a lot faster install but I managed to snap one of the bolts for the front bracket when I was installing it. A quick trip to Lowes for a tap and die and replacement hardware and I finally got the seat on. I've got a 100 mile commute for the rest of this week and next week so that should give me a good idea of how comfortable it's going to be. The backrest seems to be pretty adjustable so it might take a bit to get that really dialed in. Now I just have to wait for my stage 1 and the bike will be done for a while. I took some pictures with my cellphone and they came out kind of crappy so I'll try to get some better ones up tomorrow.

my *** breathes more easily just looking at it. I've been partial to the Danny Gray Buttcrack Solo seat.. and everyone says it's nice..I just haven't had the gumption to buy one yet.. also, I don't want to lose my current fender bib/luggage rack set up
Wait, is that the same with the Bare Bones? I am not home yet, but I bought one of those seats and a solo luggage rack... Are you saying that putting on the Bare Bones will not allow me to use the solo rack or fender bib??? If so, I will be pissed!

I plan on going with the mustang wide vintage solo with backrest and detachable pillion. I sat on one at a rally and it was really comfortable and the OL really liked the pillion too. That way I'll still have the solo around town but comfort for the road trips. A soon as I get my bars installed and paid for that's my next purchase.

I can't find any "dummy instructions" that would show how it actually mounts, but just from the way it looks like it mounts, I'd have to lose the stock bracket that the seat bolts to, and use the single-bolt hole in the fender.. since my luggage rack and fender bib use the dual-bolt stock bracket, i wouldn't be able to use them anymore.. same thing with the 14" touring passenger pillion I have, it uses the stock bolts, which wouldn't be there anymore.
see..single mounting hole..

Awesome, thanks! So I take it that it uses the two studs on the fender that the stock seat uses?
