Edit: Scratch that--found them on Samurider. Those are cheaper than I thought they would be. Are they as good of quality as the stock mirrors?

They definitely feel lighter than stock, so maybe not as substantial. But they're metal, highly adjustable, stay in place, and look a lot better in my opinion.

Hi EJ,
Have you been on any long rides with the Daytona seat?
I like the looks of the seat but want to make sure it's comfortable for day long trips.
Thanks,
Dino

Thanks to Chip for the clear handlebar instructions. No drilling was needed for my bike. I couldn't do much about the brake line, but I did adjust the clutch line and throttle cables, none of which needed to be replaced (at not least in my eyes--some people may be bothered by the routing, but it's functional).

The Daytona seat is very comfortable. Much firmer than stock and way roomier. I can easily get both feet flat on the ground and I'm a 30" inseam. I haven't been uncomfortable on it, but I also haven't ridden more than an hour at a time on it yet.

Hey Dino,
Overall it's way better than stock for me. I've had it on longer day trips and it's decent. I'm going on a long tour this summer though, and no way do I want to do it on this. That said I still think it looks bitchin'. I just know from experience how good a Corbin is for touring...

Very nice! Just far enough removed from stock that it looks more...serious. Cool
