I don’t understand why, if the Corbin is so much more comfortable, you don’t use it all the time?

I got it for long trips, but I've only used it on 3 rides of 100 miles each since I purchased it in 2016 (and it is a big improvement over stock!). It seems kind of a shame to just leave it in the closet when someone can be using it. Let me know if you need any more info on it.

Sent you a PM. Thanks.

Hi Cormanus,

The short answer is that I like the look of the stock seat and it's comfortable enough for shorter hops. I got the Corbin with the intent of taking multiple long rides, but haven't gotten around to it. The Corbin looks and feels awesome, but I'd rather someone else be able to use it than leave it stuck in the closet.

Thanks Outtabout.

For Trips or cooler weather:

Stock seat (have ridden 698 miles in 12 hours on it) and stock exhaust (I like em quiet)

I added a puig windscreen to help take some of the wind off my chest, oxford heated grips, a ram mount for my phone and I ran an IPhone charging cable from my battery tender up under the tank.

For the seat I just throw my airhawk on for the longer rides. O2 plug is on order to hopefully help with the surging which I notice when I roll off the throttle going downhill.

Probably adding a rear rack and a topcase in the future.

i'm kind of small time with my modifications so far, but i've got big dreams.

Done so far:

Rlets
Red Diamond side cover emblems
"1150Four" side cover emblems
Dart Marlin Screen (smoke)
MIZ Tail section and custom roll pleated seat
Triumph Bonneville Fork Gaiters
Micheline PR3's (160/60 rear and 120/70 front)


What I'm considering/planning:

Heated Grips and removable opaque hand guards for winter
Titanium 4-1 exhaust (hopefully cat free!)
Air filter and Snorkel mods
17T front Sprocket
Raise rear, lower front just a hair
Square 80's style signals
LED lamp
ECU flash and PCV
Charging USB for GPS/phone tie-in
Frame sliders/fork protectors
short black HakuFugu front fender

Oh yea, I forgot I dropped the front sprocket one tooth to a 17 and added short black adjustable clutch & brake levers. I didn't feel the 18t was needed and like the quicker acceleration from a stop. As far as the levers go I'll probably go back to standard length levers. The short levers seem to require much more effort (especially the clutch).

Puig Screen has a constant buzz-rattle. Trying to locate the source to stabilize with rubber or something. I like the screen, works about 85% as well as I thought it would and about 50% as much as I probably need, but don't want a big screen for daily use. Eventually will pick up larger screen for trips.

Givvi rear rack due in Friday!!!
