Anyone install corbins with the back rests? How do you like them.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Corbin seat & Backrest
Heres an honest opinion: I bought the spyder and discovered Im not at all comfortable and my back started to be a big problem. I ordered the corbin seats and backrests and added a 4'riser from no neon magic.
With the Corbin seat you sit in the seat not on top of it like the stock seat. The backrest is a huge help it actually supports my back even on hard corners and quick accelerations. My back problem has been totally eliminated. Just need to find aftermarket for moving up & lowering the footpegs, brake and shift pedal....

Just Installed ...
I just installed the Corbins with small oval backrest on driver and large oval backrest on passenger. I too have the 4" risers and 2 highway peg brackets. So actually have 3 pegs on each side. 1) stock 2) bracket from Billet and 3) the Spyderlegs bracket from Bryan Farber. So actually I have the choice of 9 foot positions. I have a SE5 so I don't have to worry about the left hand side ( no shifter ). My favorite riding position is right foot middle peg ( Bryan's bracket ) and left foot forward peg - Billet bracket. That way I can bring my right foot back to the brake / stock peg very quickly if needed.
Anyway - Back to the seat..... my 1st impression was that the seat & backrest pushed me too far up. Being 6'3 , hip replaced and a 54 year old poot, I want to be farther back - not closer. Also I seemed sliding all over the seat - I did the spray 409 trick from Lamonster and it seemed to help. Also the new seat seemed kinda hard but after I put a couple of hundred miles on it , it started feeling better - just needs to get "pressure form fitted " from my rear I guess.:sour: Backrest adjustment is a trial and error situation - Just a half turn of the ajustment screw can mean either heaven or one of the edges is digging in your back.
The combination of the seat ( fitting in progress ) , risers and multiple highway brackets have made a world of difference to me.
After all the additions and tweaking, I'm a happy camper now:yes:

Did you have to buy the luggage rack from BRP to install the corbins or do the seats just bolt on.
No Rack Reeded
You take the stock seat / seat shock off . Corbin comes in 2 units. The main seat bracket ( built into driver's seat ) attaches to the same bolts that the black passenger handrails do. Also you reinstall the original seat shock ( if you want ) back under the main Corbin seat.
The original metal bracket from the stock seat is reattached and used to mount / latch the passenger seat - Also the ABS sensor unit is removed from the stock seat and reinstalled in the passenger seat. Passenger seat has a key lock. Back rests slide into vertical metal channels built into each of the seats and are tightened / adjusted by a hex bolt / set screw. No rack required.
