thanks again to all.
As to the seat... It is ok, much better than the one I had on the RS, however the one on the RS was off the shelf, This one they spent the day doing a fitment for my butt. It fact I will give it an A+.
A couple of issues.
1. They do not provide a means of holding the seat up if you find it neccessary to check brake fluid and to retreive your battery tender cable or if you need to charge or jump start.
2. The stitching on the seat leaks water... Now I need to fiind to waterprofing to fix that.
I highly recommend, if you go Corbin, to go to the factory and have it fit to you, well worth the stop since I was fairly close.
Yeo it is A+

Forrest. Doesn't your Corbin have the flip down stand with the roller on one end to hold the seat up? It doesn't hold it high enough IMO but it does hold it up several inches. Maybe they forgot to put yours on?

Hey Forrest. There should be a post up in the bottom of your seat that you can pull down to keep the seat up. It's pretty dog gone hidden up there and hard to see, but it should be there.

If it's there I can't find it and I called Corbin, and they said it doesn't come with a stand.... Hummmm interesting huh ???

Doru the Destroyer-Spyder Photo Investigator
Ryde name change...
...from "Spyder Triangle" to "Forrest Triangle" in order to observe that he is the first (and so far only) to finish the 8,150 miles route: Florida (West-Central), New York (Lake Placid), California (Eureka) and back to Florida, covering two Spyder events (Spyders in the Adirondacks Rally and Spyders in the Redwoods).
All for this change?

Unfortunately too many of us have experienced those same frustrations. Being the icon Doc is in the Spyder family and considering the withdrawals he's, "Going thru", BRP should reconsider service and repair. We tend to forget the previous problems when we get back on the road again. Doc, I sympathize.

What does Doc's current withdrawal have to do with BRP's service and repair? He's having his motor built for his turbo setup by another builder that is not BRP or a dealer and he's still waiting to have his bike shipped back from the shipping company.

Doc I can sympathize with you. Just got my bike back after only two weeks and that was bad enough. Had to cancel a trip. New throttle body, rear bearings and race and new solenoid for trailer wiring (back ordered since July). Dealer did his best and BRP warrantied everything. I don't think I could go as long as you have without a Spyder. Life's too short.
