• 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.

F3L Seats - Stock vs. Cannonball vs. Ultimate vs. ???

Ordered on Jan. 4 using the design it tool. Website stated it would be 4-6 weeks for Delivery. It arrived on my door step on Jan 24.

Still need to install it along with the passenger floorboards for my wife once it warms up enough.

Hey Clover, At your convenience, can you measure the dimensions of your Corbin rider area to compare to my Seth Laam seating area? I attached pix of what I'd like. Thanks

I'll get some measurements in the morning, I went to Install the corbin tonight and they have you install a new bracket and move the latch to the new bracket and this isn't working out too well.

I had no issues with moving the bracket and latch but it looks like the post on the seat is in the wrong position. I'll need to contact Corbin in the morning. In order to get the post in the bracket it moves the seat too far off of the tank and sits too high

Update: Just tried to email corbin tech support at the email address in their instructions and it was kicked back from google as a unknown user . Guess I am making a phone call.

Troop the length to rider backrest 14" width 16 3/4"

Got in touch with Corbin today and sent some pics , they confirmed correct installation of the bracket.

They are getting the paper work ready to send the seat back to them for corrections. I think the latch post may be incorrectly positioned on the seat.

When I place the seat in the front tongue grooves it looks great until you have to align the post into the latch. that's when things go all wonky.

Sounds good. Hopefully the front nose gap gets tightened up a bit. I had some weird leather issues with the Corbin I had on my Yamaha FZ09. I sent them pix and they sent me a express shipping return label. I had new replacement from WI > CA > WI in less than ten days. Only issue I ever had with any of my Corbin's. Still leaning that way, as I want to sit in the seat more than I want to sit on it. Heck, it is a F3S after all :)

Looks like my choice of an aftermarket seat would be the Ultimate. That said, I'll try a couple things first:
1.) My Laam seat is on the way back to Seth for an "adjustment". He said he never adjusted a completed F3 seat, but based on my height/weight, he's going to try a couple tweaks. Figure the $60 there/back shipping is worth the try.
2.) BikerChris has an Ultimate tall boy on his F3L. He lives about 15 miles from me. Once my seat gets back from Seth Laam, I'll take it over to his place and do some A/B comparisons. This should give me a better idea.
We shall see in a couple weeks...
