Carbondry Fender and Corbin Fastgun - Interference

[Claviger]

Sadly two of my favorite aftermarket items don’t play nice together. Tried spacing the seat lock out, it’s not vertical so once spaced it no longer aligns with the locking pin

Suggestions?

I’m considering drilling the rivets and contouring the parts that want a divorce of the seat. There is no way to adjust the fender.

I only bought the seat because somewhere I saw a picture of a full carbondry bike with ghosted red paint that had a fastgun on it... now I realize he had to have done some welding on the seat mount to get it to fit (yet another example of why I need a welder).

Can’t find that pic anymore though


Took a bunch of pics because I wanted to make this a “how to”. Oh the irony?! Lol!

Looks like you need some of this stuff too.

You may not be as cheap as me and prefer the suggested 3M product that @WyldCFH recommended at bottom.

I'm a cheapskate AU $5.08 (US$4) delivered and it is invisible when fitted anyway

Rob,
When I receive my new solo Corbin, we'll have to try the fit on your R3R.
I have welders you can borrow!!!
Why didn't you say something sooner?

No holes just a slight dent from sitting for ages.

I have not thought it through entirely but could you use a stepped and angled/ramped spacer to give the clearance required for the seat's sides at back? JEEZ it is hard to describe with out drawing it!

With offset holes in the ramped spacer from those of the base spacer plate it is attached to.
This would be easier with the spigot mount on the Corbin I suppose.
Would require removing Corbin rivets, re-attaching spigot to the an offset ramped spacer top step and then re-attach that to a lower non-ramped step re-fitted to the Corbin seat base re-using the old rivet holes in the seat base.

To get the steps to join seamlessly you could drill 4 holes in the non-ramped step closest to the seat base and counter sink the two offset holes with space for the rivet heads in the seat base mating surface of the non-ramped step and same countersunk holes in the upper sides of the non-offset step holes.

That would work. I follow you. Hope he made it up. Very clever !
