The Corbin is on an 80 850L so yes no reason the seat would not work on an 82. But once again I cut the seat mounts off the bike to use the Sportster seat. I have looked on craigslist for seats, sportster and otherwise, most can be found fairly cheap.

I did it because the seat, tank and side covers were shot. I had the pods and the exhaust came with the bike, and the side covers were not hard to make. I don't do mods very often.

It was a new Corbin seat from a Sportster that I found in a second hand store. Scored it for $30. It dropped the seat by 3" and pretty comfy compared. I did have to cut off the front and rear captures off the frame for it to sit properly and had to jury rig the front mount. The tank is off a 750L and holds about a gal more than the stock peanut tank.

Nice score btw. I was just going to take mine to an upholstry shop and have it shaved. I would like to push the drivers saddle back a bit in the the passenger portion to get a bigger seat for me. What do you think? Or does this seat an easier fix?

Here is one of mine.

Hello Gustovh I like that seat is it custom or did you buy it. I would like to do that to my seat as well. Let me know please.

Minor mods

Great looking bike rockhammer. I like her just like she is.

I was going to make minor changes. In my opinion. make seat more comfortable shaving it back toward the passenger more maybe. Lower with 11 inch shocks. I have pretty tall six four, so forward controls, fork boots, and bars, cables. She will still look like she does just a little different.

Can not figure out how to attach photo

I need to figure out how to attach the photo in the post I did it in another thread and now I can not do it again.

My GS850L

Here is a pic of the bike I ride. I would like to mod her a little but I still need to go through all the recommended maintenance first. Well I might do little mod first. She runs great. Rode her 200 miles today.

Jan 2002 I picked up my 1100L in Frezno with 1027 miles on her.


This is the following July, She has a new tank, clean carbs and leaves in a couple days for a 2000 tour with 2 other guys.
