it wont do you much good as the shape of the seat pan is totally different than a stock tiger seat
that's how corbin makes em comfy ................

I have a Corbin on my Steamer. I'll take some pics with rulers in them in a day or so and post them on my Picassa for you.

I have an old Corbin seat for a Triumph Sprint, too. It was once quite beautiful and matched the gray engine of the Sprint perfectly. It has seen better days: the leather is split and the comfortableness is gone and I replaced it with a decent tho cheaper and not as nice Sargent seat. (Yep, still runnin', thanks to Mustang!) I could try and fit it on my Steamer and see if at least the seat pan will work. If it does I'll ship it to you, for free. You pay the shipping though. Worth it? Maybe not. Up to you.

Let me know.

Mr Rybes, if you look on here, http://www.triumph-ant.co.uk/seats.html (http://www.triumph-ant.co.uk/seats.html)  look at the bottom pic of the blue steamer.

The Chap that built that is lowering and recovering my seat as we speak.
I asked him price for that one, similar to a corbin, he said about £140 i think.

Here`s his web site, good bloke.

last I checked Corbin wanted close to 250 bucks to recover and that was a few years ago ....................so if you go that route you can buy brand new for the same money it is going to cost

you have to contact them and get an RA # (http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee47/2uoykcuf/emoticons/127375108_k7N2G-Th.gif)

I found a local upholstery shop  that did a damn fine job on mine and the wife's corbins for 100 each

I have a few local shops in Santa Fe I will pass it around.
It was a stupid move to buy that seat Oh Well I was thinking the same thing when I bought my Tiger now after setting up the valves and carbs and a few little things as well as much help from you and the boys I want another Triumph triple..
