Default E-bay Corbin back rest

They have some after market back rest for Corbin seat on e bay, has anyone ever tried these, or are they not worth it ?

yes...do not waste your money...the fit is terrible...they force you about an inch forward...no matter how you adjust them the bottom sticks out way past the lumbar support.

I just picked up a genuine Corbin backrest at a swap meet in new condition for $20! Felt like I hit the lottery

OK, hate to ask, but do you have to remove the seat, to remove the back rest?, I don't think i'd like that, I found one to buy, but if i have to take the seat of to remove, probably gonna pass

Cool

It's always worth checking a manufacturer's website:

"Simple installation! Corbin saddle installs with a tongue in the front and a single screw in the fender at the rear."

"Corbin Backrest System: The first and most versatile removable backrest system available for motorcycles!"


There is probably more, if you take a look.

Yes, the seat must be removed. The backrest slides down the channel in the seat, then is attached with a 1/4-20 bolt or screw. Takes about 90 seconds on my '97 because there is no tour pack.
