Please forgive my ignorance for I am but a poor uninformed newbie. A few months ago I purchased a 92 FJ, blue and silver. Has anyone purchased the Corbin Gunfighter  seat with the tail section covered in blue? They offer several different shades of blue and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on which blue matched the bike closest. Thanks for the help, ride safe.

hi, i am not sure anymore, but contact Corbin directly. i wonder if they could make you 1. In my opinion they are the most comfortable seat's, the best looking, & have the option for gun fighter, gun fighter with lady, & gun fighter with lady & back rest. i have a picture of my 89 with the Corbin lady & back rest. very classy & it look's like it was a OEM item. that's how great they look Picture enclosed Diesel/Russ

Call Corbin, they can send you material swatches for your color selection.
1) Free Owners Manual download: https://tinyurl.com/fmsz7hk9
2) Don't store your FJ with E10 fuel https://tinyurl.com/3cjrfct5
3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.
4) Important items for the '84-87 FJ's:

A word to the wise...... If you custom order your Corbin seat...... DO NOT use leather in any of the sitting areas.

The leather is ok for rides up to 300 miles in a day. Beyond that......your posterior end will feel as if you are sitting on a 2x12 piece of wood.

Ask me how I know this...... :scratch_one-s_head:

I just got a Corbin seat off eBay for my FJ. If you wait long enough they do come up. It came from the USA. Postage was more than the seat but I'm not complaining as it was a bargain. It needs a recover but is usable in its current condition. Wrong colours though.  Having said that the leather material feels like concrete and corse as hell. The padding is excellent.  Material is hard due to age I think.  I bought the backrest also from the USA a couple of days after I bought the seat. It's aftermarket but really is good quality and Priced well. Haven't got a photo of it but I got it off eBay. I asked Aviationfred to keep an eye out for me and he found me one and put me on to the backrest site. I think there is another one on eBay but it was not in my budget including postage to australia. I priced a seat from Corbin and including backrest and postage it was like $993 Australian. Thanks but no I'll wait. Happy I did.  Haven't had the honours of road testing it yet as the bike in bits.  Won't be to long though.

Nice bike. Best colours. Like the seat colours. Will keep this in mind when the reprimand happens
