Memphis Shade and Cobin seat

I had both of these products on my old bike, a Honda Sabre VT1100 and loved them both. First the Corbin seat, it was molded and contoured to the bike's frame better than stock. It also gave the bike a lower seat height which I loved. I am 6'2", but still appreciate a wide stance and leg bend at a full stop. The only caution on the Corbin, it is a stiff, memory foam seat. It takes time to break in, but once you do it is formed to your butt, with no break in pressure points. It is an all day seat after the first 700 miles or so. The MS Batwing fairing is also great. I started with a full sized classic shield from MS, but went to the wing when it came out. The bike handles better in the wind and the shield (I got the tallest one) I could still look over, but it created a nice air pocket when kept under 75MPH. If you go with the batwing I can recommend two things, get the extra bit of metal in the front to set off the difference between the wing and the shield. Also, if you have a bike color close to one of their tinted shields, consider one of those. I had a black and red theme going on my Honda and the red tint shield really set things off. I had tons of compliments on the bike with both the seat and the batwing. Good luck sir and good riding. RD
