Purchased my "new" '14 yesterday and would appreciate some insight.

Seats, Shields, USB mount, Rack, Bags (tank or otherwise), Yoshimura, Dynojet...?

Recommendations are welcome!

Man, I love this bike!

For the seat especially, what has the consensus become for 30min-2 hour rides. I've seen a lot of Corbin plus 1/2" foam & the '14 Deluxe option...

I'm just under 6'0" & 175lbs.

Again, thanks for taking the time!.

Hicks, congrts on your '14, and welcome to the forum.

I must pipe in and suggest that if you get sore after only 30 minutes of riding, something's wrong. I'd hate to think you need a Corbin to tolerate a half-hour ride. We're all shaped differently, but to me the stock CB seat is an all-day seat (riding solo). I'm 6'6", 36" inseam, 210 lbs. It may not be the consensus, but to me, for the way I ride, the bike is perfectly comfortable as is. Hope you find your sweet spot!

I'm 6'0" with a 34" inseam.

I really like the look of the standard seat. For me, it was uncomfortable after about an hour of riding. I ordered a Corbin seat with extra foam. It felt hard for the first few weeks. Now, I love it. I've been on several eight-hour plus rides. With a stop for gas and a stretch every two hours, it works. My legs get more uncomfortable than my backside does on long rides.

Hey, they look interesting. I've been looking for a pair of low-profile ear buds that have the different types of tips so I can see what works best. These seem to check the boxes. Price of these is good too!
