    Corbin Smuggler Rain Proof--NOT

    Here's an update to this "POS thread that won't die" that I started on 9/22. Corbin still has my smuggler. Apparently they now realize that the lid needs to be redesigned to offer better weather protection. I received another email from their R&D Dept. last week that a new mold is being...

    Would you buy again the AS ?

    When I picked up my AE from D&H Gerald and his mechanic both said it was just fine to shift without releasing the throttle. I called Yamaha and asked them the same question and was told the same. So I DON'T release the throttle on upshifting and this rocket on 2 wheels shifts as smooth as silk...

    Alarms

    Installed the Scorpio Sr-i500 complete package this past weekend. Tapped into the negative wire on fuel pump for the remote disable and works great. Scorpio doesn't recommend tapping into the ignition. Since it's a higher current wire there have been reports of it triggering the remote disable...

    Corbin Smuggler Rain Proof--NOT

    RadioHowie, While I'm appreciative of your input on the legalities of this issue I never implied that I expected the Smuggler to be waterproof, only rainproof. It goes on the back of a motorcycle that will be ridden through down pours after all. I consider my SUV to be rainproof but if I drive...

    Corbin Smuggler Rain Proof--NOT

    SilverStreak, You're obviously Corbin's IDEAL customer considering all the quality control issues I've read in other posts since Fri. I guess it wouldn't bother you if your FJR's hardbags/glove box also leaked like your Smuggler??? Geez, I could have bought Yamaha's OEM trunk for less which...

    Corbin Smuggler Rain Proof--NOT

    I looked at the flimsey hinge and don't see how an adjustment would make a difference. Jestal, looking at your smuggler from above does the gaps between the cover and body look uniform? You should see mine, I've got major gap intolerances. I thought about putting some weather stripping on the...

    Corbin Smuggler Rain Proof--NOT

    Hey Guys, My Smuggler came today and as soon as I unpacked it I suspected there's NO WAY I could store my cell phone, digital cam or anything I didn't want to get soaked if I got caught in a heavy down pour. It rains a lot in Houston so this is a problem. I first noticed that I could press...

    '04 vs '06 AE

    Anybody talked with D&H on the ETA of the AE's? I tried calling this AM but they're in a Yamaha conference till Thurs. I think I'm #8 on the list. BTW, Southwest Yamaha in Houston on 59S has a AE on the floor. Went by yesterday to take a peek and it's awesome. Beautiful silver blue, actually...
