I'd say for the most part you can ignore. They refer to trim levels, example, Racer, Special, Stone, etc.-AJ
When checking on a Corbin seat I noticed the model they sell for the V7lll fits all BUT "those with the aftermarket aluminum fenders". Does this refer to the Milano? So perhaps no chassis change but rather a difference in stock mounting brackets that are not compatible with some offered accessories.?So, it is good to be cautious beforehand. Good question from the OP. Hopefully someone can find a more definitive answer.
I’m confused why it wouldn’t fit on a bike with the aluminum mudguards installed. They’re so much smaller than the robust plastic ones. Unless it has something to do with that bracket in the rear (far left):
I literally just described it twice (once each in my last two posts).SUB-FRAME.Look outboard and behind the latch bracket.The seat fouls the bolts and maybe even the frame itself.
Ouch. Ok. I thought you were referring to the license plate holder subframe bar/hoop. Because that has nothing to do with mounting the aluminum fenders.
Because you can't mount the tail light to the abbreviated fender you need that sub-frame (bar/hoop) if you have the abbreviated fender. And that frame/bar/hoop seems to be fouling the seat.
[re-enters stage right after forgetting his cue]You can’t, you say! …or, you haven’t tried…like this fellar had:Nabbed it from this article:https://pin.it/5iOLaBXULSpied that a few years ago and kept mental note. I’m planning to pull the tail light off and mount it to the fender as well, but seeing if I can keep the subframe hoop attached (tail light would tuck behind the hoop and I’d grind down the plate holder portion). Sure, these aluminum fenders aren’t the most rigid things, but how many of us small block owners really dive into seeing what we can do beyond factory options? I’m happy to be that guinea pig (no surprise).
They only list the Stone/Special and interestingly enough Scrambler - not Racer, not sure why since that had the full fender too...
…Since that should literally be the only chassis difference back there. Unless that seat latch/seat mounting bracket is actually different on those with the sub-frame and it was correlation and not causation. I'm open to having missed that.
The racer came with upgraded shocks, right? Perhaps the Corbin couldn’t clear the gas reservoir?I don’t recall changing out the seat latch, nor do any of the marketing pics show it (side note: the black plate that THAT mounts to is welded to the rear frame rail. I’m not sure that it always was welded in previous iterations, and earlier small blocks didn’t have that plate; I’ve since grinded off the welds to make that black plate removable for when the day arrives that I actually get around to creating that stinkin’ solo seat).Here’s a look at the stock fender, aftermarket fender (this one’s plastic, but same shape as the long aluminum ones), and aftermarket license plate hoop, side-by-side:The plastic mudguard utilizes the same side mounting bolts as the subframe hoop accessory (highlighted in green); that’s why I didn’t think the hoop had anything to do with fitment issues, although looking at it again, the hoop looks like it might stick out laterally a bit farther than the plastic.I was thinking the mudguard rear mounting bracket that connects to the black frame plate (highlighted in yellow) might’ve been the hangup.
