Chrome Consoles and Seat Compatability
I want to get a new 2-up seat, and I have the Harley low profile chrome console installed (part # 71208-07).
Corbin said their seats are not compatible with the console. CC seats said the same thing - I actually have a solo CC seat and it was terrible trying to get it on. I had to bend the tongue so much to get it on that it slid the seat forward and would not fit in the back fender hole without some jimmying things around a lot, and it doesn't look good.
I really wanted the Corbin Gunfighter for it's sleek look and back support. This bites.
What seats do you have with your low profile chrome console??

There's no place around here that does them, every place is out in California or Florida.
The console looks sharp but I would have skipped it had I foreseen this.

I ran into a similar problem with my LePera bare bones solo seat. I did have to bend the tongue just slightly and its fits pretty snug. Very happy with result. I think a slight alteration to the tongue on the seat is well worth the looks of the lo profile console.

Sharp looking bike.
The Le Pera won't work on my bike because it has a metal seat pan. Looks like I'm out of luck for now. Maybe I can find someplace to make me a pan then have someone make a seat around that.
