v50man Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Tony -- After looking at your pics, I noticed that the most rearward relays (2 of them) were shorter. As you'll see inb this photograph, the relays on my bike actually protrude BEYOND the tailpiece toward the front of the bike. Is this true on yours? I couldn't tell from your pics. Everything else looks identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rrbasso Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 OK look at theys pics, I put some wether stipping on, but on the two most forward relays do in fact go above the tail pice plastick, if you take a stright edge from the tail pice plastick to the tip of the most forward relay it is 3/16 higher, I think when I was at Corban they did a little scout for this but I cant be sure, I do know that my seat does not hit, I have checket it out after leaving Corban ? So what do you think ? I am going to check out my parts book to see if there is a differant seat part number in 03, in my mind this looks like your bike and mine would take the same seat ?

v50man Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Tony -- The basepan is the same, that's for sure. Your relays don't seem to stick out quite so far. What gets me is that the second to last set of rubber bumpers (going toward the tail) are WAY too big and -- when resting on them -- the seat only clears the tallest relays by a c**t hair. Were the bumpers removed, the relays would get squished in order to "seat" the saddle. The more I try to understand this, the more confused I become. Your assistance, however, is GREATLY appreciated. v50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v50man Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 This is starting to make my head hurt, what is the next step???? 49649[/snapback] I'll talk to Andy at Corbin tomorrow -- get some answers -- and advise as to what I'm going to do. Again, thanks for all your help, Tony. I truly appreciate it. v50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 FYI, the later(02+) OEM relays are a bit taller than the trouble-prone 00-01 units. The base should be in the same location. I think the aftermarket gray Bosch units are as short at the ealier units, but can't remember for sure. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 It looks like to me that your Fuses and relays are mounted too high. and if thats it. I can't see it being all too hard to lower them. but maybe it is. I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow OR someone else might have one throw it up of an older spec bike.

al_roethlisberger Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 ...nah, they are normal. The relays are just taller on the later bikes, about half again as tall. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 The thing where the relays are on, is mounted on top of the subframe, cant you mount then from the downside, makes +/-15mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v50man Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Just got a call from Andy @ Corbin. He was suggesting that I take a few measurements -- put a few markings on the baseban -- and send it back to them for reconfiguration. Told him that -- if OK with him -- I'd like to take a shot first -- removing the problem bumpers and perhaps looking at various ways to lower the relays. He was cool with that -- I could still return the seat if I'm unable to make it work. We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v50man Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Follow-up... I'm tracing where the seat "hits" and marking the botom of the seat pan and sending it back to Corbin for modification. I'll PM Tony if they feel it's helpful to fit to an actual bike. What a pain in the ass -- but at least I haven't found Corbin to be as arrogant as some of you have. Not yet... v50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest burke Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 In this photo, the rubber bumbers are sitting on the frame. WAAAAY off in the fitment dept. 49570[/snapback] Where did you get the guzzi tank pad? I have been looking for one of those. Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
