Thanks How did I miss that? I thought I had looked through all the tutorials> Dah

 

Another good find. I'll need this for when I put my saddlebags on next week. Thanks.

 

You know, I had seen this thread before, but when I went looking for it a couple weeks ago, I couldn't find it for the life of me. I searched and searched and it wouldn't come up. I just went by memory, glad I read it at one point.

The saddlebags I bought have yokes that get really wide, and I'm not sure I can fit them under the seat if I want to raise them up higher, so I might have to trip the yoke. (its just pleather anyway).

 

Thanks again for the tutorial. Put on my saddlebags without a problem because I had read this.

 

Glad I found this tutorial! I am getting ready to install saddlebags. Having this info will make installation easier.

 

It's pretty much the same for 450.

 

Thanks. I need to add a button to my seat and was wondering how it came off.

 

really great post super helpful

 

I'm getting ready to install my new saddlebags and was wondering how the passenger seat was removed. Now I know! Great post - thanks!

 

Dude, awesome. Thanks for the info. Saddlebags will be an easy install now.

 

Well duh! I asked about his along with some wiring questions on another thread!:whistling: I missed this post. Great easy to follow pictures! Thanks!!!

 

Exactly what I needed to know. This will make installing my new saddlebags on "George" much easier

 

Does anyone have any advice on removing the rear seat bracket. Just ordered a Corbin, when I tried the nuts just spun.

 

Too late once they are spinning. Some acetone applied to the threads to remove the factory threadlocker and an impact wrench can usually get them out undamaged.

 

On my '85 the nut part of the nut/bolt combo is spot welded to the underside of the rear fender. If that weld fails, they'll spin like you say. You should be able to reach a wrench under there and hold the nut while you spin the bolt from the top. I think it's a 8mm nut.

 

I think he's referring to the seat bracket that has to be removed from the stock seat so the Corbin can be attached with it.

 

Yes Flitecontrol, I guess I didn't explain it well enough. Sounds like I should just go ahead and order a new bracket.
Thanks,

 

I'm not sure, but if you want to dissect the OEM seat, you might be able to use it. I've never done it, but maybe others with Corbin seats will comment.

 

It seems like the bracket for the rear seat is a solid piece to the drivers seat. I've never taken it off to check yet, but is this true?

 

It bolts to the seat pan.

 

Ok good, I was wanting to take the rear one off. Figured I'd ask first while I found this topic. Thank you.

 

The screw anchors the screws thread into are in the plastic and foam. If they spin on you, you may have to drill them out.

 

Corbin seat i was thinking of adding one. Hope someone post on here how good they are.

There are a few threads on them. General consensus is that they are hard at first, and take awhile to break in. After that, they are very comfortable. I don't remember anyone giving them a bad overall review.

 

Yup my anchor screws spun on me. I was really hoping to replace just the seat bracket to get rid of the strap that holds the passenger seat and planned on getting a new one fabricated.

 

thanks....did it today to clean the excess dirt and polish the rest of the fender!
