Ah, thx for the info. I live in Dominican Republic, we have really nice coasts but also great paths between the island's mountains. Seems like I'll have to get a brand new KLR as down here there are no more than 25-30 in total and nobody seems to be willing to sell...     this means I'll have to wait some more months.... Is the Corbin seat longer than stock? or only wider? when riding alone is it more confortable? Best Regards Ride Safe   Alejanro Quixtar IBO ID : 2392769 Pwd: DOM Get more from the Web.

Made perfect sense to me - wish my Spanish was as good. Richard in Tucson 94 KLR650 86 VFR750
