... I wondered if it's possible to just have the stock pillion recovered with leather instead of spending another $230 with Corbin. It might not look that bad (!). One thing I for sure need is foot pegs under the driver's seat, like the regular upright driving position on a bike, in addition to the forward controls the America already has. Whoever said "bank drain" was right.


What a great idea about covering the pillion seat w/leather. Hey, if my wife can reupholster furniture it couldn't be that hard to recover the pillion to match the Corbin...especially since it is rarely used. Of course I would be forced to do the work but still...

Also, regarding "Bank Drain"...in the 2 years I've owned my America I've spent about $2,200 on basic misc addon/replacement stuff (i.e. exhaust, seats, windshield, bags, chrome, pegs, grips, etc.)...to compare, my friend has in 2 months already spent about $3300 to do basically the same to his new Honda VTX.
