Great photo. How's that Saddleman seat work for you? It's the first one I recall seeing.

Actually, that's a Russell Day-Long saddle and I really like it. I'm partial to them though, I've had them on my last 3 bikes.

Ah, got it. That's a new brand to me. And what is that cool wind screen? I think your bike may be the best setup for touring that I've seen.

Cool. Thanks!

I think I agree with Bob. What are the side cases, Redbird?

[Redbird_imp]

The side cases are the original Givi Trekker cases. Now there are Givi Trekker Dolomiti Aluminum cases and Givi Trekker Outback Aluminum cases in addition to the original Trekker cases. The original ones are some kind of a plastic/polymer material with aluminum facing on it. My guess (and it is a guess since I have never seen or held the newer ones) is that the newer ones weigh a bit less.

why sidepanels by the engine ? for better engine cooling more airflow ?

Thanks, Redbird.

Those "side panels" are Baker Air Wings. They can be swiveled to direct air out around the riders leg (good for cold weather) or swiveled as you see them for hot weather to allow the air stream to hit the riders legs. Originally I had them on my Honda Valkyrie. I liked how they would help control airflow so I thought I would try them on the CB1100. I had to create the mount for them, nothing more then square tubing that the brackets can bolt to. http://bakerbuiltairwings.com
