I will change the mirrors when I find something I like, but the best thing with the bike is the handlebars. I just love the upright seating position instead of hanging on the front wheel like my old sports bikes – so comfortable.

I really love the Yoshimura exhaust. I had considered getting one but I decided to keep the cat and got a Staintune. But I really love the way that Yoshimura exhaust looks. Great looking bike.

Still have parts I haven mounted, but only small adjustments. Love the idea with 17” 180 rear, but I wait for the first tire change. I also really love the Yoshimura look, it just fits the bike perfect. I will look into the sprockets, because I miss the acceleration from my BMW K1200S

Looks great!

Good looking bike! Everything compliments the basic platform. First time I've seen those side covers in use. Really like them.

Is the back (curved part) of the Corbin seat a hard cover or just leather?

Love that seat. Is it as comfortable as it looks?

Does it change seat height at all? I am 6'2" and don't want to drop any.

Also the Corbin site says "Installs on the CB similar to stock with a tab in the front and key latch mechanism at the rear. " Looks like an exact installation not "similar" Any issues?

I am also 6’2 and It’s the perfect riding seat. Good for fast cornering and 3 times as long mileage without a sore tush – love it.

The installation is the best part, just fits without any problems. Use the Corbin seat when riding alone and when I bring my oldest kid, I switch to the stock seat in 2 seconds.

Oh man, your bike looks gorgeous. I've been wanting that seat since I got mine, gotta pull the trigger already. Their default red and black really compliments the look of the rest of your bike!

hey Retsel,

I was actually looking at the same side covers and CSO has done many of the mods or similar mods to what I have in mind. Anyhow, I think it is the
- Over racing black side panels. $207.79 on japanwebike.net
Hi CSO,

I was wondering if you could send a pic from the rear. I would like to see/know what fender eliminator kit you used. I was looking at the carbon seat and the over racing side panels already. I had a very similar goal in mind for my cb11 cafe project.

Thanks!

Looks Great !! Simplicity is key. Keep it up !
