Famous seat manufacturer Corbin has introduced a new seat to soften the hard ride of the new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
If the mark of a successful model is the number of aftermarket accessory companies that provide premium parts, Royal Enfield is on a winner with the new Interceptor and Continental GT 650.
Swedish premium suspension company Ohlins was the first with full suspension upgrades for the twins.
The FSK145 fork springs cost $A399 and the RE911 twin shocks are $A1129 or $A949 for the RE912.
They will be followed by full suspension for the 400cc Himalayan adventurer. Prices are expected to be $A399 for the FSK 144 forks and $A1395 for the RE 907 shocks.
American engine giant S&S Cycle has followed up with 750cc and 865cc big-bore kits, mufflers and various other parts for the twins. (See end of article for a full price list.)
Corbin seat
Now Corbin has joined the parts rush with a $US497 Gunfighter & Lady seat.
It is made with Comfort Cell foam and accepts an adjustable removable passenger backrest ($US257).
A simple setscrew on the rear of the backrest sets the angle without removing it from the seat. Support hardware is built inside the seat to keep a clean look without external brackets.
There is also a small, plastic four-litre top box ($US393) available for the backrest to store wets, gloves, water, maps, etc.
