Corbin seat

grandpa10 · 08-20-2011, 10:52 PM

Hi, new to this site and just purchased a 2008 Nomad. I am looking to buy a Corbin seat to lower seat height ( for my short legs ). On their website they don't list one for a 2008 but do have one for a 2007. I called them and they said couldn't sell a 2007 one to me because I have a 2008 and they do not do refunds. My question is are the 2007 and 2008 on the 1600 nomad's seats the same ?

Thanks, Doug P.S. great website and great bike

I do not have a Corbin on my bike, no doubt someone does and will respond but the 05 to 08 nomads are the same except paint choices and VIN so if their seat fits a 07 it should fit on all the 1600 nomads.

I always thought the 07 & 08's where the same seat as well. Check the oem part numbers and see if they come up the same.
And welcome from Ontario!

I have an '05, a friend of mine has an'07, and another friend has an '08, and all the seats are interchangeable. Also the seats on all 1600 Classics will fit the Nomad. The only seats that are not interchangeable are between the 1500s and 1600s (and the 1700s are different too). If you look up the part numbers on Kawi's website, it is the same for all 1600 Nomads (front and rear).

OEM seat numbers are the same for the 2007 and 2008 1600 Nomad.

Thanks for all the responses. I will call Corbin again and inform them the 05 - 08's take the same seats.

Ask them for a complementary seat for doing their research.

If you haven't bought one yet, and have an upholstery shop nearby, you could check out this post: http://www.vulcanbagger.com/phpBB3/v...ic.php?t=23868

The right pair of boots could give you + one to two inches of hight.

Are the Corbins (or any other aftermarket seats) any narrower than OEM? I need to lose about a 1/2"-1" from each side.
