My wife loves to ride with me, so whenever possible we ride 2-up. The stock pillion seat is terribly slick and also tends to pitch the pillion toward the front of the bike. This is really noticable under braking when the pillion slides forward.

I decided that I should pamper her a little, so I contacted Corbin to see what they could do for me. I spoke with Gabriel and sent in my seats (even though the riders seat was already a Corbin, I sent it with the Pillion so they could match the pillion to it).

Here is a picture of the Rider's Seat...


Here's the matching Pillion Seat...


Here they are together...


And now installed on the bike...

Gabriel not only recovered the seat, but installed that great Corbin Foam and reshaped the seat to give it a more neutral seating position. I can't wait for warmer weather to get my wife out on the bike and give it the 3-hour ride test.

Here's to summer... :-g
