Enjoy it...in spite of issues many of us have had with Corbin customer service, the modified Corbin is a terrific choice for the KLR. The seat gives you a wide base of operation and still allows for movement for and aft and side to side. Kurt

It looks like the seat width is a closer match to my width! Don Detloff Fair Haven, MI A14

Thanks Kurt... I'm Blushing. I couldn't imagine another bike better suited to me though. It's got tons of "engineered features" that are totally stupid and need changing. Just what a creative engineer needs. Chris Krok knows how I feel. Chris has got some great new stuff coming folks.. stay tuned. I still can't decide whether I'm honored to have the "Rat Bike" award this year or not. Thanks to all for looking at my "Not Art" bike and giving it some attention but other than a prototype dash (that failed horribly) Everythign is/was installed correctly, with professionalism and it all actually worked. It's just a different color. If I switch off my headlight it blends very well in the desert (goal acheived). I've changed the name of bike and will get a vanity plate soon (or NOT!). KHMMV (pronounced CUM-VEE) Kawasaki High Mobility Multipurpose Vehicle. If I get a vanity plate then I'll be honored to have the "Rat Bike" Award. Perhaps next year. It was a pleasure meeting everyone at the "classic" and I'm looking forward to next year. Kurt ... it was fun to choke on your dust for a few miles and I wish Daryl didn't have to ditch. I would have enjoyed the rest of the route even more with the entire group. A special Thanks to Gino and Fred for all their hard work. I had a blast. LaterZ Dash
