Title: Fitting a one piece seat on sectioned rear fender. Post by Doug on 05/31/12 at 10:17:46 I recently bought a new seat and I'm not quite sure how to go about putting it on my bike because the fender is made for a sectioned seat. I had inquired about this a few months back, but I got busy. Now I'm ready to do the do. Anyone done this before? Would it be easier to fix the seat or the fender? |

Cut or bend the rear seat retainer (looks like a small handle) and the one piece will bolt right on. Remove the back bracket on the new seat. The two side bolts will hold it on just fine. |

I'll post some more pics. after I mount the seat. |

Or bent down. and a mounting hole for the rear tab. I would figure out a tab and slot arrangement for that. |

Title: Re: Fitting a one piece seat on sectioned rear fen Post by arteacher on 06/01/12 at 13:34:02 The Corbin seat does not use the rear mounting hole, and the stock seat probably doesn't need it either. If I was doing this mod I would try it without the rear mount first and see how it worked out. |

Title: Re: Fitting a one piece seat on sectioned rear fen Post by renegade1 on 06/01/12 at 17:23:22 Is that a corbin? if so prolly cost you a pretty penny? and if you have no mount in the back will it not fit closely to the fender?? |

The Corbin fits nicely against the fender at the rear without any mount. |

Title: Re: Fitting a one piece seat on sectioned rear fen Post by Doug on 06/02/12 at 20:12:52 Actually, I tracked mine from the forums on this site. I found a thread that said RYCA was overstocked and selling on craigslist. I lucked out, but I'm sure these guys know where to get a seat like this for a fair price. Ask around. I'll see what I can find. :) ;) |

Title: Re: Fitting a one piece seat on sectioned rear fen Post by babyhog on 06/03/12 at 06:49:01 Looks like just a stock seat from an '05 or later. Looks fine but not the most comfortable seat in the world. |
