Got a Corbin tall rider seat on my 21 RGS and am looking for a low cost backrest for a fairly long trip I will be making in a couple weeks. Never used/needed a backrest before and not sure if I want to spend $300+ on something I may not use or like. Any suggestions on a low cost options out there? Seems like the Corbin has a bit different mounting system then most.
Ya. At $330 plus shipping I really don't want to buy it without seeing if I even like it. Might bite the bullet though.
Have you tried ebay? They have a few used ones and looks like one seller has new ones that say fit Corbin seat. I have a Corbin seat and I like the oval backrest that's open in the center. It lets more air reach my back wile riding. Good luck with your search.
I am cheap skate. I look up marketplace all corbin seats locally and many had backrests. I contacted each seller asking if they will part out and you will find folks do it. Just got one yesterday for $150 in like new condition and tried it oh yes man you will love it 100% difference is tremendous.
I bought HD Slim saddlebags same way, dude was selling Slim and having bags or not woudnt change sele proce so I gave him $300 and took home $700 OEM saddlebags
i dont know of any other backrest that works with a corbin either, but ill say a backrest is a game changer. i wont not have one. youve just gotta watch bigger bumps where you kind of get a see saw action, they can jar you. just lean forward a hair so youre off it and youll be golden.
+1 for the Corbin oval backrest. Saddle is amazing on its own but the backrest makes a significant difference. Great investment for longer rides, although i agree it is still overpriced. But what isnt these days?
