u need to order from online.. @ http://www.corbin.com.. in singapore they don sell..

 

Tried their website...eerr....not sure how its done. I emailed them but no reply. Can bros who had ordered advice? Example, how you ordered, the cost of the seats ( I intend to get both rider and passenger + backrest) since its in USD, payment method? greatly appreciated....

[ohayo]

Joseph,

 

If you are lucky, they will reply your email. If not you will not hear from them as corbin don entertained overseas order. Nevertheless do your order at these links. Automatically they will contact you for payment and order details. No credit card payment. Either you transferred money to their account or use a debit card. Corbin will charge a lump sum first and refund whenever there is balance left of your order. Take note should you need to call them. You need to wake up real early like 3-5am to call their office.

 

Btw there is another type of seat also. I have heard of the seat called russell too

Many thanks for the input. Seemed like a real hassle, haiz. BTW, I checked with Loois and they can get the Corbins for me but not sure of the pricing yet. I also looked at the "Sargent" seats but they are even more expensive than Corbins. Wonders if they are as comfortable.

 

Will think hard again before deciding anyway still got few months b4 I will receive my mistress.

Suggest you do the ordering yourself....................

Bro, any reason? Maybe can e PM me if not appropriate to post online? Thanks

I am not sure of what advrider meant exactly.

 

In my humble opinion, the bike shop might carrot you on the currency exchange rate and shipping fees. I am sure they want to earn a commission for helping you. Then the designed arrived goods might/might turned out to your liking. As you can see, leather and design of the corbin seat might not turned out as you have ordered. Hopefully the color coding turned out right also.

 

There are many unforeseen circumstances due to the fact you had instructed a third party to order on your behalf. Anything that goes wrong. Who to blame? The bike shop, Corbin or yourself? At the end of the day, you still have pay for the items.

 

Of course it lessen your load on the method of payment and paper works stuff alot though.

Can check if Corbin seat is lower than the stock?

Yeah, if you give corbin your measurement correctly, after the gel break in and conform to your butt size. Customised seat is lower than the stock

Bros, DO NOT BE LATE, K. Since we are moving off at 10am. Thats a good timing for anyone to get enough sleep.I will wait till 10.15am. Anyone could not make it. Head down to kulai to look for us ba. At kulai, we will see the group decision on whether to combine trip 1 and trip 2 or not. Eat breakfast at kulai, go to desaru fruit farm, go to tanjung balua beach and end the day with cheese crab or lobster.

 

I can be contacted at 98329600 (Ian).

Concours owners, do you all meet up frequently for kopi/gathering in Singapore?

Hmmm..sadly no....Response always very poor till i gave up trying.

 

There are hardly any active Gtrian active in this forum. The Pioneer group like Neo and French Biker has left Singapore. They are the ones fixing up meetup previously. Minor See rarely comes in. Kumar once a while. Andy Loo is busy somewhere in another forum. Normally we arrange either by sms or thru this thread.

 

But as you can see, i have posted my sunday for few days already. Only Lcp is coming. The other is FJR and Hayabusa.

 

I guess small bike community has its pros and cons.
