Gen III Owners: Should Corbin Seat Fit?

[Pseudo-Fed]

I feel an FJR in my future. Don't quite feel secure though and since I'll end up with a more comfortable seat anyway, wondering if the Corbin as currently offered should fit. I searched on seats, and seems Fairlaner indicated his RDL is for Gen II or III, so I'm guessing yes. Want to be sure this option is quickly available if I take the plunge. Thanks!

If an RDL GenII seat fits the GenIII, I'd say a GenII Corbin will too.

Yup. The bike is the same from the tank back as the gen II.

To the extent that one can say "Corbin fits", yes.

Love my Corbin, Russell didn't work for me.

Does that make me a 1%er? :lol:

Maybe a 1.25%er, airboss. I had a RDL on my ST1300 and sure it was great. No complaints, but didnt really feel it was all tha either. Te wings did dig into my hamstrings when stopped though. I got a deal on a heated set of Corbins for the FJR and really, they're just fine. I don't see what all the hubbub is about with either of the seats. Guess its just me and you then.

I've had Corbins on two different bikes. Both were bastards to fit on the bike.

I think this proof will be proven true by the transitive seat property. If A=B and B=C then A=C.

If a corbin fits on a Gen II and the seat mounts are the same on the Gen III then the Corbin should fit the gen III. I am betting this holds true for all seats and even some other accessories like smuggler trunks.
