Hey all,
I just recently purchased a 2006 Warrior, and since it's still too cold to ride of course I am going nuts with mods. One of the things I usually change on my bikes is the stock seat. I've had 2 Corbins before and loved them, but I am a little nervous about getting one for this bike because of all the reports of damage to the rear fender, etc. Have they fixed these issues yet?
I would like to have the option of a backrest for a passenger, should I aquire one someday (GF). I know the dual tour and rumble seat provide this option, but I have two issues with these:
- I've read numerous reports of the passenger seat destroying the fender
- they look too big and bulky for the lines of the bike
In the past I've had Corbin reshape and trim down a gunfighter seat for my FZ6 with great results. However, that bike did not have a painted fender under the rear portion of the seat. I am worried that having them trim down say a dual tour may cause even more damage especially with a backrest installed.
The other things I'd like to do are get some saddlebags with easy brackets and some kind of backrest. I am not sure whether it's best to have the backrest in the passenger seat itself or mounting one to the fender stays and modifying to work with easy brackets.
Any advice on which direction I should go would be great, thanks!
