I haven't heard complaints about Corbin's lack of quality, only their customer service. As on the KLR list, I only use Raul Randariz, customer service manager for my orders. He is familiar with the "modified" seat many of us like. It takes out the "dip" in the saddle so that you don't slide into the tank. As John mentioned, Corbin gets its comfort on dual sport seats from its width. Much wider than stock.

I learned early on that my '90 craves FRESH FUEL. If that doesn't work (i e not even a cough) Try removing the spark plug, squirt a generous amount of WD40 in the cylinder, spin the rear wheel with the bike in top gear, install the spark plug and try again, either kick or magic button. The DR 350 is prone to "stuck compression ring" disease. WD40 usually fixes it.

At least for the DRS 350, the Corbin will fit with either the stock or an Acerbis tank.

Fred Hink just sent me the IMS tank and it arrived yesterday. It is indented on the back (seat) side to anticipate a long upsweep of a seat. So, I'm puzzled why the Corbin would require the IMS tank if the stock seat works on both. They told me 3 weeks and that is what it has been so maybe not too long out there. Fred also told me that he's found a new supplier of bash plates for the DR at a better price than the DG. Fred who makes them? I had Fred send me extra throttle and clutch cables. They were expensive and wish motion pro would make something for them. I emailed Ventura two days ago and asked them if they would allow me to do a product evaluation for their pack system. No word yet. Kurt Simpson Salt Lake City - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.

Fred who makes them? It is the same DG skid plate from a different distributor. In fact the original supplier has raised his prices to $114.95 I can sell them from the second distributor at $89.95 Fred Hink *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Arrowhead Motorsports www.arrowheadmotorsports.com 435-259-7356 fax 435-259-9148 Moab, Utah *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* - - to unsubscribe to dr, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe dr" in the body of the message.
