    new saddle help

    gotcha thanks I'm guessing it's going to be trial by error. Lord.......the Russell seat is $600.00 for the rider alone........... I will flip a coin maybe. Like Bounce said...why screw around.....spend the money up front and buyt the "best" the Russell seats get a lot of fanfare and good...

    new saddle help

    quote: And Corbin seats are about as hard as concrete. that's what I'm looking for......an answer to the "why". So my take is that you don't care for the Corbin seats becasue they are hard.....only under certain situations is hard comfortable.... :rolleyes: In my experience I don't think...

    Smuggler saddle

    Hello all. Just wondering if anyone out there had a corbain smuggler saddle and what you thought about it. It looks sweet and i think it's a good idea for added storage. My lady rides her own bike so unless there is an issue with her bike I always ride single. My question is what do you all...

    mystery decals

    Now i'm thinking about the job. Thumper, you're bike looks great. How did you get your tape to line up from the upper cowling to the lower cowling? Did you just eye ball it? It really looks good. The upper cowling looks easy enough with the ledge to work with but laying the tape on the lower...

    Y.C.C.S....

    So there were no mechanical issues with the system? I've read that "true motorcyclist" did not like it.........for what ever reason. But the system as a whole was mainly trouble free? I ask becasue my bike has it and it's a totally new experience and it's taking some getting use to.

    mystery decals

    Thanks for the info. It was most helpful. There's a local shop that does custom work and decals, pen striping, etc. I'll take the project to them and hopefully they won't skin me alive on the application. I'm no artist or professional and I'm just anal enough that my own handy work would...
