Seat Removal

[J V McLure]

Last night I installed a used Corbin seat on my non-intrestate trike For some reason it was a tight fit and did not clamp into place until I sat on it. I quickly figuerd out the seat was not for me and tried to remove it. Nothing happens when I turn the key and no matter how hard I jerk, the dang thing won't budge. What do I neet to do to get the seat off?

If sitting on it as Junior suggested didn't work, take off the left side cover. Have someone push down on the front of the seat.... At the same time(with your right hand), reach in to the lock mechanism. While you turn the key, use your right hand to help it along from the inside.

Yep, old Mike Corbin's concrete blocks covered in leather.

I know some like them....for me, a concrete block would me much cheaper, and just as comfortable.

I guess sell the dern thing. I have enough stuff in the garage already. I have a Mustang Wide Tour seat on Tammy's bike and it fits me like a glove. I'm thinking about one for my Vakl.
