saddle: This side view shows the Corbin solo saddle.  Since I live in Southern California, I was able to ride into Corbin for a custom fitting.  Because I am 6’6”, a stock Corbin was not an option (the stock Corbin solo pushes the rider several inches forward).  Although Corbin is notorious for poor customer service, I cannot believe how well they treat drive-ins.  It takes about five hours, but they treat you like a king, including complementary (and tasty) lunch at Corbin’s “Wizard’s Cafe.”  The price is normal retail price.  A fitter is assigned to you personally.  I must have taken 10 test rides, with adjustments after each.  My fitter walked me through each step of the process.  Corbin not only allowed me to walk around the plant, they encouraged it.  Every person I met along the way was friendly and excited about showing me what they do.  This is one motivated and happy workforce!  I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the ride-in fitting!  Note: if I did not need custom fitting, I would have bought from Hal at the VRCC Store.

The saddle is finished in buckskin leather with no stitching.  The smooth surface is slippery, allowing the rider to slide forward during braking.  However, with the change to Chubby handlebars, the more forward riding position keeps rearward pressure on my posterior, thus helping greatly with slippage.

side covers:  Also pictured are the Corbin side covers.  They really improve one of the roughest areas of the bike.  Very clean, very Boyd’s.

The side covers came way not ready for painting.  I reshaped the side covers extensively.  First, the top edge where the side covers meet the tank was not attractive.  The rounded top edge catches the light and emphasizes the seam.  The sides were shaved here to reduce their thickness and the top edge was sharpened by sanding it flat (90° edge) with a sanding block.  This sharp corner leaves the minimum possible surface area to reflect light.

Also, to my eye the side cover "horns" extend too far forward.  The "horns" were shortened by cutting off about 4".  The contours of the horns were then reshaped to meet this new front tip.  This required adding some fiberglass on the underside.  7/8" chrome buttons to fill the bolt holes were painted with the side covers.

Passenger pegs:  Shown are the KuryAykn Iso pegs for the passenger (really there to fill the holes -- the passenger has nowhere to sit <g>).  They look great and match the grips, rider pegs, and shift peg.  You will need to get the set with clevises, as they will not fit on the stock mounts.

Also note the chromed exhaust hangars from Rattlebars.  These are very nice pieces.  Chet takes the stock hangars and strips, polishes, and chromes them.  Excellent value for only $50.

Also visible are the Cobra chrome drive shaft cover, Show Chrome differential nut covers, and the stainless rear brake line.

air horns: Not visible are Rivco hidden air horns (note: the hidden horns (part # AHVIL) are not listed on the Web site).  Completely invisible – super clean.  Be sure to use Loctite on the threads.  For some reason, even with lockwashers, the horn-to-bracket mounting bolts were continually working themselves loose.  Note:  when I alerted Rivco to the problem, they immediately shipped out replacement parts at no cost.  I was very satisfied with the response.
