Shim...

 

Not to be confused with "shimmy"... because no one wants to see me make that move.  It's been a while since I pulled this out...

 In case you did think of me doing the shimmy.  You're welcome.

Joan found some hard plastic discs that I drilled out and used for a shim under the loop for the seat latch.  It works and now latches without excessive pushing down on the seat.  That was the last bit of adjustment needed to complete the new seat install.

It's a gray ol' day here in the desert, occasional rain and continuing rain.  It may make it to 60º today, but it won't feel like it.  More of the same tomorrow.  Music with the guys on Tuesday.  I'm looking forward to some riding time.  Not obsessed or anything.  Really.  ;-)

Happy Easter!

Out in the garage, looking at bikes.  I mentioned before that the seat on the Burgman 200 is large.  The CTX is a much bigger bike - the engine is more than 3 times the size.  Heavier by more than 40%.  Longer wheelbase.  Much bigger tires and wheels.  And now, there is a Corbin seat on each...

 Putting a measuring tape on each seat, the Burgman's seat is more than 50% wider (my reason for calling that bike a fat bottom girl).  The seats use different materials: all leather on the Burgman (carbon fiber textured leather on the main seating part), black leather and snakeskin vinyl on the CTX.  The Corbin on each bike makes is far more comfortable than the stock seats.  The seating position on each is different.

I have no idea why the designers of the Burgman felt it was necessary to put such a big seat on an otherwise compact scooter.
