Two4One Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I bought a used Corbin off of ebay. Installed it last night, went for a spin and the seat vibrates? Is this normal? I put it off and on like 5 times making sure it was locked in place correctly. All appears to be correct. I just wanna' know if this is normal. I might have to go buy some foam to wedge in underneath to get rid of it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossi Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Yup, normal. It is vibrations from the bike (I know that is hard to believe). The foam is so hard that just like pegs, bars, etc, it transfers vibes, right up to your arse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-lax Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Are you positive that its vibrating? or is it possible that you are just not used to the feel of a much firmer seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two4One Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Are you positive that its vibrating? or is it possible that you are just not used to the feel of a much firmer seat? Yeah I'm certain it is. I've had 3 Corbin's on 3 different bikes, none had this problem. The vibrations match the bikes other vibrations just like Cossi mentioned. Although I get the impression that the vibrations are due to the seat having some "play" once it is installed, not necessarily the foam in the seat itself. I'll try to eliminate the play and see what happens. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblackbird2000 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 From what I understand, that's the added perk for that seat. That's why they call it "Gunfighter and LADY". Got to make it as fun as possible for 'em! Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada0937 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I don't feel any vibes on my GF&L. Let me go for a quick ride to check...BRB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I read a post you're involved I end up in a trance for at least 3 minutes watching her. Think she'd like a vibrating seat???

rickrad Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Does it rattle? Mine did and I bent the spot that the front tab goezinta down and it took care of it being loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHaul Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Does it rattle? Mine did and I bent the spot that the front tab goezinta down and it took care of it being loose. I had to make a few adjustments too. I had to loosen the rear hoop/loop that goes into the catch and move it to suit too. IIRC, I moved the loop to push the seat forward to surround the tank better and so hold it from sliding left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyxdevil Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 YOU CAN TRY TRICKS LISTED ABOVE ALSO PUT FOAM ON BOTTOM WITH SPAY ADHESIVE JUST IN SPOTS WHERE IT TOUCHES SUB FRAME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvet Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 There is a locking pin (U-shaped) on the rear of the Corbin. This is held bu 2 screws, and by loosening these you can move this locking pin. Try moving it a little backwards (usually it is in the most front-position), so the Corbin will fit better to the gastank. This should eliminate the vibration for the best part.... I had the same problem with all of my 3 Corbins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
