    Thanks, I like it too. The stock seat puts everything below my waist to sleep in 20 minutes. I have been using different pads on the seat since last year. The Corbin seat is exactly what I needed and so far no issues with numbness.

    The pipes I have are Vance and Hines Monster Ovals. I do like the look of the black exhaust pipes on other bikes but so far I've been happy with the chrome pipes. It offsets the black just enough and I like a touch of chrome on my bike.

    Glad your experience with Corbin was better than mine or most others,.

    They sent me a carton loaded with scraped up crap that wasn't even in the colours that I ordered. AND...they made me wait nearly five months for the privilege.

    There was one hiccup, they did not send the rain cover I purchased. I'm still waiting to hear back from them on if and when they are going to send that.

    Well, there was no issue from Corbin after all. They don't make a rain cover for this seat because of the way the passenger grab rails are designed. They are unable to get a tight fit for it. They already re-funded the money charged.

    My windshield is a Clearview Shield, sport, medium, dark grey. I'm 6'0" and spec wise I should be using the large size. I went smaller for looks. Buffeting is bad and that is my fault. I would actually prefer all the smooth wind from the stock shorty shield from Honda. I went for form over function. Big mistake on my part because I ride a lot. The windshield is really nice, well made and looks great. I'd recommend this brand to anyone if you buy the right size. It would function well for someone shorter than I am. After a year of my head being in a paint shaker, I'm moving to a different shield for next year. Next time, it will be function over form.

    StoichSix:
    You could try one of these mini windshields. I am 5' 10" with the large Clearview Shield, and made one of these. It does help at freeway speeds. They are a lot cheaper now. Used to only have the MRA X-creens for a $100 or more.
