[Long-time-lurker, first-time-poster!]
These arrived yesterday from Webike (I'd ordered them weeks before I discovered Samurider). I couldn't be happier with both pieces.

The cowl significantly smooths out the air going over your shoulders. Almost no buffeting at 60+ mph. Assembly is a little complex until you fully decipher the instructions (the headlight moves forward on custom steel brackets). It's absolutely beautiful and rock solid.

The seat trunk feels a little lower than the stock seat (I'm 5'11", 170lbs and I'm digging it). It's wider towards the back, and very comfortable. The paint and build quality are immaculate. The color and finish match the tank perfectly. Rode a quick 30 miles today. Plan on doing a longer ride this weekend to see if it remains as comfortable as the stock seat.

That is all. Happy 4th!

Now that trunk I LIKE! What was the tag on that thing?

Did you paint the side covers? What color exactly? Very nice...

That cowl looks really great.. sleek like the ones on the BMW R90S. wow...

Wow...... $714.99 for that seat.....just a bit pricey.

They are Force Design side covers (color: Darkness Black Metallic, carbon frame). I wanted something darker than the stock side covers, but not black. Their quality is amazing. I'm certain Samurider could get you this color even though they don't list it on their site.

Yep. It's very well made, and provides enough storage (for me) without adding a tailbox.

If it were $400 I'd jump all over it, but man I just can't justify the purchase when it's that expensive.

Bix, looks absolutely fantastic! Maybe my favorite CB1100 mods so far...

Bix,

Your bike looks amazing bro. Really, really nice. I debated getting that fairing and finally chose the fiberglass one in silver but seeing how nice your aluminum one looks you've given me 2nd thoughts. Great job.
