Motorcycle love

Corbin seat foam is stiff, but their shape fits my butt perfectly. The C&C seats I mentioned earlier are made by a former Corbin employee, & are perfect for me. I've done 6-8 hour days on it & not a hint of discomfort.

I have a Corbin on mine and honestly love the firm saddle. The stock seat was too squishy and I slid around a lot, constantly trying to get myself into the right spot. I've spent many long days in the saddle on cross country trips, with a few days at over 1,000 miles. A little too pricey but after a test ride with a trip to Alaska in the plans, I went for it and have no regrets.

I have the Corbin Gunfighter on mine and love it. The guys I ride with call it “the recliner” it’s so comfortable.

Jealous. Love that place. Opened up 30 years to late, since I left Carthage almost 40 years ago. Family still lives there.

Nice bike. My son just sold his. His buddy is the lead mechanic for the Yamaha superbike team that used to be the AMA race circuit. I forget what it's called now. Anyway, he had 68HP coming out of that little engine. It was the loudest wheelie machine you have ever heard. Have fun with yours.
 
Took a leisurely 150 mile cruise today with the gang. One of them is 75, and traded two Harley’s in Daytona for a 160hp Ducati. He’s on the far right.
I don’t think we drove fast enough for him.

Got my old-man solo-seat for long legs, with backrest.
Mounted my heat shields just rear of the back rocker box, and swapped the derby cover over the clutch. Everyone knows that adds 35 hp right there.
Comfy, to say the least.

Handles the twistys like a cat on carpet.
There's a small local group of hardcore supermoto riders in my area. They don't fit into any mold or category. They're a spork. They refer to themselves as the 0% er's since pretty much nobody likes them.
Quiet, they don't advertise what they're doing or about to do or locations of where they..in theory.. might be about to do something, nor would they have any knowledge of any incidents of which the accusers are talking about. :rolleyes:

If you're here and one or more of these guys get up behind you (you'll know it), let em go. Don't care what you're driving ,riding, whatever..let em go.
They're all local boys and the fastest guys through these mountain roads.
 
I goofed and installed an extra stereo I had laying around that according to the manufacturer it has bluetooth...well no so out it came and I headed over to https://fatheadcycles.com and ordered up a nice kit last Tuesday.....they say allow 2-3 days for them to wire it up etc... it was delivered on Thursday!
This is the kit I installed it was all plug and play and retaining my hand controls was very nice!

This sounds like the guy I met and road with Sunday. Built like he was 25. He had traded two HDs for this haul ass Ducati.
Drove it like he stole it. Was going on 75 years old.

I can't have a fast bike, I'm on a new 300cc adventure bike with a ninja engine and I'm passing everything on the road like it's standing still. If I had something like that I would probably last about a day because I would end up in someones back seat. I drive my KLR650 like a sport bike. Hell, my tw200 is always first off the line.

I'm always first off the line at traffic lights. Put as much distance as you can between yourself and all the cars, then back off. I also stay out away from and ahead of the pack on the interstates. Nothing good comes from hanging around a pack of cars.

Thank you .
One of buddies said that the riot police need their shield back (that windshield is huge!) Lol.

My Street Glide started life with a 5” windshield. I replaced it with a 7”, and have a 9” recurve from Freedom Shields coming in Monday. As well as fork mounted wind deflectors coming in from HD next week.

New HD’s might look cool from the factory, but we have to finish them on our dime after we take title. lol

I have a 12” freedom recurve on my Electra Glide and have been happy with it. Probably should have went shorter but as long as I don’t slouch I can see over the top. My wife also wanted to go taller to help with wind noise and it made it very comfortable for her. I’ve never used the fangs but the vents on the side of the fairing that you can position make a huge difference. In winter they block a lot of cold air and in summer you can turn them to push the air where it is most comfortable for you.
 
My Bike Quip recurve windshield is 1" taller than stock but mine is also electric so I can move it where I want it. I normally keep it in the lowest position except in heavy rain or if I'm talking on the phone at interstate speeds.

I looked for a used one for about a month and they are hard to find for sure. I primarily wanted it for offroad and going to WV. I would love to have one like yours in streetfighter trim though. For now I have this old girl for the twisties :D

@fieldgrade were you on hwy 87 heading towards Burlington today around 1:45. I passed a street glide the same color as yours with three bikes behind it. My wife and I were on a black Electra Glide going to lunch in apex.
 
I was not. I was asleep in this old chair.

@dman24 But I had three guys up that way headed to Saxapahaw a couple of weeks ago.
