    Parts For Sale Gen1 Corbin Seat

    I've had Corbin's on most other bikes I've had. I found them to be the epitome of getting your butt sitting IN and not ON the bike, which usually means back and down. I'm taller at 6'1" but not a big guy at 210 lbs... Always love the feel of Corbin's. But I never ran a VMAX with a Corbin so I...

    'Barn find' or backyard find

    Do it! Do it! Do it! I know how it goes with a full plate. But will you get another chance for a CBX in this lifetime?!?

    Turns over but will not run

    I think we had a miscommunication on describing the issue. After seeing/hearing that video clip the battery and starter seem to be turning the engine over as soon as you hit the start button and without hesitation. I will give you my experience. I bought a non-running '02 VMAX over the summer...

    Ready for reassembly.

    It hasn't rained or snowed for a few days so the streets are dry, and the temps were in the mid 40's so I took her out for a trial run. WOW!!! I'm in love! I can't wait for the spring and some real time in the saddle. Model pic from today. I took my chromed scoops (the chrome was a little...

    Parts For Sale Gen1 Corbin Seat

    It's in excellent condition. There's one worn spot on a corner on the inside/underside that is not visible when mounted on the bike - I took a close up of that one spot. The shipping will probably cost me $50, so let's say $250 shipped to the lower 48.

    Turns over but will not run

    Note: You might want to pull the battery and have it load tested. Even if it's new, it's still a very likely cause of all of this.

    Turns over but will not run

    You do not have a fuel problem. Or, at the least, you won't know if you do/do not have a fuel problem until you can get the starter to try to rotate the engine. Again, if you are pressing the start button for 6-8 seconds before the starter can finally turn the engine (by overcoming the...

    Turns over but will not run

    A2 - If I read you right, you are pressing and holding the starter button. After the button is pressed for half a second the engine s-l-o-w-l-y rolls over for a split second... until the next compression cycle is preventing the engine from turning over again. As far as I know there is no...

    Parts For Sale Gen1 body set

    Some pics with the bodywork mounted on the bike in brighter light. I know there was a 'black' carbon fiber, but this is the bright 'silver' carbon fiber.

    Turns over but will not run

    Can you define what you mean by, "Had to put the choke to max level and hold down the start button until it finally turns over, it fires but immediately stops." TURNS OVER: The starter motor spins the engine, but it is not attempting to fire. So was the engine turning over (meaning you could...

    Ready for reassembly.

    Guilty as charged! It was a toss up between a Superbee and Mighty-Mouse... but I always associated Mighty-Mouse with small block chevys... which is strange that I don't automatically associated the Superbee logo with Mopars. But I digress... I always found Corbin seats very comfortable and I...

    Ready for reassembly.

    I'm not sure which side panel I'm going to keep. The stockers on the left or the swoopy exctrap ones down on the right side. Thoughts?

    Here's a view that shows the front of the scoops.

    Ready for reassembly.

    I did exactly that; I bought a set of cheap crashed scoops and refinished them. I was able to let her warm up for 5 minutes and the throttle response (without a load) seemed very nice. Do I think I'm going to leave the carb synching for the spring. I got the rear tire swapped out and mounted...

    Ready for reassembly.

    Sounds like this might be a common issue with the throttle cables getting hung up. I'll verify this weekend. When I had her running for a minute I did unscrew the idle screw AND push down on the throttle connections between the carbs, but I'll make sure. It seemed strange how far out I had to...
