Aftermarket motorcycle seat manufactured by Corbin Pacific falls off motorcycle while riding or dismounting. This is specific to the Harley-Davidson Pan America but unrelated to Harley-Davidson in terms of manufacture. I am not in possession of the seat as it was returned to Corbin Pacific. They replaced the seat but the replacement exhibited the exact same behavior. In short, the seat can fall off or dislodge from the motorcycle while riding in a standing position (which is common on gravel or dirt roads) or when dismounting the motorcycle. This can place the rider in grave danger. Per Corbin Pacific's tech support manager, Christopher Michael, what I described to him over the course of multiple phone calls and emails was "impossible". Detailed photographic evidence as well as a video showing the problem was disregarded by Corbin Pacific as they told me that viewing such material constituted a breach of their email security policy. The first seat was returned to their facility in Florida for inspection, the second seat was returned to their facility in Hollister California. They remain in possession of both seats.
