saddle bag liner and corbin question for vaquero

Do I have any other option for saddlebag liners other than the Kawasaki brand?

Also, Can someone with a corbin give me their .02 on whether it is comfortable enough as an all day seat? I sure like the look of it a lot more than the Mustang

Also, Does anyone have an opinion on how far back and down the Corbin will sit me compared to the stock seat?

Lastly, has anyone found a cup holder that they like and would recommend for the Vaquero?

It takes them a while to get your order to you but they make a quality liner.

As for the Corbin, I haven't had one on my Voyager but I had one on my Mean Streak. They are a stiffer seat and it actually pushed me back a bit but raised me up about an inch. Someone else might have one on a Vaquero to help you out more.

If I had to start again with a stock Vaquero the Corbin Dual Tour would be the first accessory I buy. I’ve got 4k miles on it now and it’s the most comfortable seat I’ve had on a bike. I’ve done a few 500 mile days and felt pretty good afterwards. My wife is also very happy with the upgrade.

As far as seating position, it moved me down and back about an inch. I know this because I had to chop an inch off the windscreen and move my highway pegs back. I’m 5’11 with a 32” inseam if that helps. I can stand flatfoot at a stop but I have to move forward on the seat. Even though the seat is lower, it is a bit wider than the stock one.

I have these liners and they've worked well.

So, how are they, Pretzel? I'm thinking about a top bag for my Vision.

I think they're out of business. I've tried calling them and got a message saying their number was disconnected. I've also tried emailing them and I get a return receipt stating their mailbox is full. If it's full, either that means they've received hundreds of emails in the past day or so which I doubt (I would imagine they'd check their email daily) or they've simply stopped looking at it. I wouldn't order from them until I contacted them first.

i have the corbin daul tour on my vaquero.it is very comfortable and does sit you lower and just a tad further back.it should work for most riders who are 5'10 or taller.

Hello, I am with Big Bike Outfitters and I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes by posting here.

I have noticed an increase in orders and visits to our website for the Kawasaki Vaquero Saddlebag Liners. I am assuming the increased demand is due to this post on the forum.

I would like to extend an instant 5% off saving for forum members. The regular price is $79.95 which includes shipping to anywhere within the lower 48 states, IL residents add 7% sales tax.

To receive the 5% off discount follow this link to our website: http://bigbikeoutfitters.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=82_38_43&products_id=239

Enter Promotion Code "Vaquero" at checkout.

I would also like to offer a forum group purchase with deeper discounts if anyone is interested.

The picture on the website has been updated in case you have already been there and saw the representative photo depicted.

We are a small Veteran Owned Company and make all of our products in our facility in Antioch IL. Typically we ship within 24 hours however if demand increases on an item we ALWAYS ship within 5 days.

We have done group buys on other forums before and I have included these links to a Kawasaki Concours 14 Forum if anyone wants to review their feedback :
http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=7217.0
http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=7612.0
http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=7660.msg91986#msg91986

Once again, I hope I did not violate any forum rules by posting this.

Best regards
