Received my Corbin seat and Corbin knock off backrest today. Installed the new LED brake light. Noticed and immediate change in sitting position. I fully understand why taller riders don't care for them. Lucky that I am short.  :biggrin:

I guess the other guys in the tall guy club didn't let me in on this.

I've loved my Corbin since day 1.

The tall reference was to a few posts that I have seen here of riders comments that are in the 6'3" and taller range. I am a short 5'7", so an even 6' is tall to me.

Looks good Fred. Where did you get the back rest? Cost? Did you retrofit to a seat  that otherwise was not set up for it? Wondering if it could be bolted up to stock seat or to my corbin gun fighter seat.

I got it on Ebay. There is a website for the seller. HarrisonSpecialties.com. The cost was $94.87. My seat is a Corbin Gunfighter and Lady. The backrest slides right in and everything lines up perfect.
