Name That Seat
« on: October 17, 2019, 06:42:04 PM »
This is the seat on my acquired 1993 K75s. Can anyone identify the manufacturer of this seat? There are no identifiable markings, looks aftermarket to me not OEM. Seat pan is plastic.  Thank you.   :popcorm

Looks like the OEM comfort seat that came on my '94 K75RT.

Is going to say the seat pan looks to be OEM.

Definitely OEM pan with OEM plastic retaining strips and it is riveted as per OEM. I tried running the number on the bottom of the pan but nothing came up.

OEM I'll be darn.  All the Corbin seats I've seen have their name somewhere, this seat has no other markings just that number. Laitch has the same seat with grey covering. These are very comfortable touring seats with a 5" seat pad but best for riders 6-feet and over.  If your inseam is short you'll be looking for pavement and a backrest.  Thanks everybody.    :twothumbsupp
