My corbin fit perfectly on my 06 BA the first time. But, that must've been in 07. Don't like the dull bracket though, but its never seen on my bike because I run the p-pad all the time. However, I totally agree with you and would be just as disatisfied myself if I encountered the same flaw. Isn't there a thread about corbin sellin out? Anyway, with over 20Kmiles on my corbin, it just gets better and better.
