2008 bought new R3 with just about every extra I could fit on it. From Corbin I bought the Dual Tour Heated Seat, Beetle Bags and Fleetliner Fairing.
Parts took 4 months to come in from Corbin, every time I called was another excuse. First they were preparing for a big bike show, then they needed pictures of my paint, then they lost the pictures etc.
Once the parts were on the bike I had nothing but trouble with them:
Fleetliner Fairing: Looks amazing but creates terrible turbulence at 50mph+ to the point you cant even see straight because your head is vibrating so much.
Beetle Bags: Locks are shoddy and break after a few weeks of use. They let water in, but not out so anything inside will get moldy and/or rusted. Heat strips on bottom of bags peel off when they get too hot (which they do because bags sit very close to pipes). They also interfere with passenger comfort because they sit so close to the pegs that the passenger can only fit part of heel on the peg.
Touring Seat: Doesn't use Triumph key release, instead is bolted on. The bolts are covered by the bags, so you cant access your toolkit or battery without removing bags and bolted on seat.
Paint: Paintwork is very poor, my bags have gone back twice because of paint blistering in the sun. first time took 6 months to replace, second time took over 1 year and I still dont have them back. The pinstriping just rubs off and a bug hitting the fairing at speed chipped the paint (yes a bug, not a stone, a tiny little bug. I know it was a bug because it was only when I wiped the bug away that I saw the chip in the paint it had made).
You've been warned.
