Corbin rear fender kit

[Eisenfarn]

HI guys, really like the Corbin rear fender kit, does Corbin have a UK supplier?, thanks for any info and UK prices if possible

Hehe, Corbin is based in the UK...

EDIT: after further review, I'm not seeing that now on their site... I feel like I'm in Bizzaro world... I could have sworn corbin saddles were made in the UK... mine even has a UK flag on it.

I understand Corbin are a US based company, and from the UK owners club have heard nothing but nightmares about the UK distributor.

Might be less hassle to get one of these if you're based in the UK ??

Hi Ward, yes the link you sent is the one I'm after, too bad if they have dodgy distribution in the UK, but I'll keep looking ...

Jagster, I'm not keen on the Trik mudguard, I'd rather something that looks a bit more traditional.

I've been looking for a wide enough standard rear mudguard that I can modify, but no luck on finding one that's wide enough.

I've just got an Email reply from Corbin saying that they will need a wire transfer before they can process my order, not actually place one yet, they have not supplied the price or the shipping costs as yet. Wire transfer?, alarm bells going off

Just got the UK distributor from the Corbin website, has anyone dealt with these?

Just got prices from Corbin in the USA, rear fender kit = $493, shipping = $110, total = $603, so that's £480
I'll need to have a good think about it, seems a lot for a plastic rear mudguard

Have you looked at the evotech tail tidy?

Our massive UK license plates aren't going to fit too well on that Corbin kit.

I did buy a tail tidy from "Triumph Custom Parts", and while it will fit the bike OK, it won't stop me getting plastered when it rains. I don't ride in the rain any more, but living in Wales, you are going to get rained on, in spite of what BBC weather tells you. The R3 is a relatively new model, so hoping that somebody will design something sensible to replace the horrific back end, meanwhile, I'll probably do the tail tidy . Many thanks for all the replies
