Corbin "Smuggler" seat on a Scrambler ???

Wondering if anyone has ever installed or considered installing a Corbin "Smuggler" seat on a Scrambler??? I can't see any reason that they wouldn't fit.....and it sure would be nice to have at least SOME storage space...and they sure do look cool........!!!!

I got my wife one for her Bonnie, color matched (perfect! - I was apprensive but it is truly perfect). It looks great.

I got a Corbin seat for my Commando too, but didn't get the Smuggler trunk, and truth be told, I regret it.

Now, the dang trunk doesn't hold much, but you know, a bungee net, cell phone, quarters for meters, and a bottle of water - nice stuff to have.

Pricey, to be sure. That is what made me NOT get the Smuggler for the Commando. As I said, I regret it (the Corbin seat, on the other hand, is primo - have 'em on 3 of my 4 bikes (I count the wife's to get to 4), and I ALSO regret buying a Sargent (nice enough seat, though) for the Duck. - NB

I've never heard of them, so I checked their website ( & here's the link http://www.corbin.com/triumph/bonnevillesmuggler.shtml).
I can't see why they wouldn't fit on a Scrambler, as long as the seat mounting bolt's are the same as a Bonnie. & it doesn't look like the high pipes would be a problem.
My only concern with it is entirely subjective. & that is, I prefer the shape of Triumph's solo seat for the Scrambler. Although the Corbin looks like it'd be easilly as comfortable. So that's just personal preference. I wouldn't mind the under-seat luggage capacity though. Very handy
