Looking to buy a used Corbin Smuggler Saddle 'RED'.
Must fit 5th gen VFR800.
1998-2001

I'm even willing to negotiate a trade for a rear rim
Rim is from a 1998-2001 VFR800 and is in excellent condition with no physical damage.

Thanks
Wayne Robinson

I love my Corbin Smuggler....great seat, EXTREMELY handy "trunk"....but watch the color match. I'm sure red is easier, but my Yellow was shot twice by Corbin and it's still obviously not right. You'd think mighty Corbin would have the correct paint/process, but no........not on Yellow at least.

For 700bux there out to be a hooker in the trunk. I'd really like to have a smuggler but damn I can almost get a new suspension for thatt price.

Keep your eye on ebay... I just saw a red one a couple weeks ago.

I'd agree......I really like Trace's seat but unless you can find one on ebay for less than $300 I wouldn't bother with it! I like the lockable storage idea but I rarely park my bike outta sight anyway. Plus my motopak luggage holds plenty of garbage.

I'll keep on the look-out for a smuggler but in the mean time since I have a Sargent solo seat and a spare rear cowl I think it's time to hit the drawing board and start on a rear cowl modification and make my own "Sargent smuggler".
