Just thought I'd share photos of my bike with it's new seat.  I found an old and seriously decaying Corbin seat on FleaBay for not much.

Got it to Carriage Upholstery in Lacombe, AB and they refurbished it and re-covered it for me.  It started attracting comments as soon as I put it on.

Looks pretty nice and is fairly comfortable.  Long ride into the mountains on Sunday, so I'll know how comfortable it is for a full day of riding soon enough.

Nice! Just the right amount of yellow piping.

That is one of the few Corbins I like.  The normal vinyl/leather pattern looks great.

Very nice bike.

Not one shot of the left exhaust?

Trip to the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park today.  710km (438 miles) round trip.  Averaged 49.8 mpg (Imp Gal).

Seat was great, can't complain about a seat that's still comfortable after 438 miles. 

Left side shown for the exhaust needs.

The Pearl Yellow looks good on that 93, 

Do you know who made the left hand exhaust by chance

I  got a 91 that needs a restore and I like your combination

I just wanna know  whose idea it was for that yellow? I KEEP LOOKING AT IT!

Sorry, missed this.  Sandy Bike Spares in the UK.  Terrible joints, had to cut, grind and reweld.  Look for a Two Bros if you can.

I had it in Camel colours after I dropped it on the track in 2006.  When it got damaged by Canada Customs, I wanted it in the yellow I'd seen on VFR800s, which turned out to be the Goldwing Pearl Yellow.

So great to see a 3rd gen!  :fing02:
