WTF is this?? 1st gen Corbin seat?

Honda Interceptor VF500F Corbin Seat on eBay.ca (item 250483788420 end time 23-Aug-09 09:44:48 EDT)

 

very possible ,....

 

Too bad it's a complete state.

 

yes sir that looks like that could be a corbin!

 

If I knew a good upholsterer place I might think about bidding on it.

 

sargent seat's, will restore for not alot of money...are you going to bid i've already got my eye on it

 

That heap isn't worth $45 CDN + shipping.

 

not to you mybe but for the guys that cant get any after market parts for the 1st gen interceptors it is.

 

Not sure if Corbin ever made seats for the VF500F,but I know for sure that they made them for the 1st gen. VF700F because I had one on my old '84. I bought it used at a local cycle salvage shop. It was in much better shape than the seat you posted Slowbird,but colorwise it was exactly the same,black riders perch with a white passenger pillion if that helps you.

 

yea corbin made a seat for the 500's i've seen them on them before

 

Corbin

That is a hunk of shit. I would put money on it Corbin will still make one on request, I think they are that kind of company.:thumbsup:

 

For the price....plus shipping it IS a bit much.

Especially considering I'd have to get it reupholstered.

I'm in contact with the seller and asking questions.

 

yea its really alot of money and you could find a better one somewhere someday! all i am trying to say is part like these are a rare find to begin with if the bidding stays low i'll buy!

 

You already got a solo cowl.....leave it for me!

 

corbin

Picked this up for my 750 for a hundred and a half.

Corbin is here in Ca. and wanted Four hundred and change to build a Gunfighter and Lady (with removable back rest). They will rework a seat of theirs for just under two hundred.

 

Mike Corbin was upholstering seats when Britney Spears was crapping her diaper. They used to do custom seats. Mid 80's and that stopped so far as I know. I inquired about having a BMW seatpan being recovered. "Sorry Gringo. we don do no steenking seatpans!"

For just a seatcover and new foam, try a good auto shop.

Figure if some guy can do a car he can sure do a bike seat.

 

I have a real Corbin for the VF500F in mint condition....

 

that thing is beat up a little bit...but then again.......I have half a cow hide that could be used to recover it...........................:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Don;t worry slow bird, if your bidding on it its yours.. I don't have two twenties to rub together right now
