First Ride observations

[el duque_imp]

It is so smoo.......th I had to look at the speedo and gear indicator once in a while. Quiet.
Only my first 100 miles so my feelings about stuff may change.

The mirrors don't do it for me. I only see about 60% out of them. I might have another go at adjusting them.

Would have liked a bit more room between the shifter and foot peg
I really had to angle my foot down to get under it. I started a bad habit of just shifting with the side of my boot.

Seat started to get a little hard/not so comfy. Might spring for a sheepskin or a foam pad. Ya'll with corbins - Like/ no like?

I like the power. Its not crazy but there is plenty there for my sensibilities.

the little samurider fairing works great. wind but no buffeting. I was pleasantly surprised by this.

There are a few muscles that got a bit more action than they usually get.. I'm kinda sore/felt like I worked it today.

I need some foot pegs to attach to my sw motech engine guards so I can stretch out now and then.

It was cooler than I've ridden on a naked bike in a long time.
Heated grips/liners/vest are definitely in the offing.

I better get used to it... I sold my 83 Goldwing today.

I find that I can only be comfortable in shoes with thin soles, I need that room to fit under the shifter.

Like your sig says, It is what it is.

Like your sig says, It is what it is.

Yeah, but it may depend on what the meaning of is is.

I like it. I'll probably do a few things to dial it in but I think its gonna do what I want it to do.

I like my Corbin seat and it seems to be the only option if you want a sissy bar at this point (my wife won't ride without it). Although you have a top box so maybe it has a pad on it.

I picked up a used Daytona seat this winter at the suggestion of forum member rdtwohig who swears it is better than the Corbin but I haven't tested it yet other than sitting on it.

You can adjust your shifter up. I did it to mine as I had the same issue with it being set too low. Take a look at the shifter linkage and you'll see that it can be adjusted.

 

[Lord Popgun]

Yeah, I had to adjust mine too.

 

[VLJ_imp]

I had the opposite issue. I needed to lower my brake pedal.

 

[el duque_imp]

Thanks I will have a look at the adjuster.
If that don't do it...
I was wondering if there is a longer shifter that honda makes that would fit over the splines.

 

[the Ferret]

There is quite a bit of adjustement in that adjuster, plus you can move the shifter on the spline itself.

I think el duque wants more distance between the shift nob and the footpeg itself. Which means he would need a longer shift lever. Being a size 11-12 boot, I would also be interested in this.
