The rocket tank could and should be improved!! If it were a little longer and the hump reduced to a lower profile if would flow much better. Extend and rake the front forks, turn the ugly rad vertical and remove the chrome and make it blend in. This would be easy to do with a black engine. You could have a chopper looking cruiser that would still handle the twisties. I have an extra red tank!! Now if you do all the other little mods, side mount plate, drilled the red reflectors and mount bullet turn signals that allow the lighted plate to be seen. 3k&n's, a plexie glass painted cover to show the k&n's with their chrome tops and a cool set of pipes, 2 pipes, you would have a nice looking ride, in "red of course".

I think we have nice looking rides already and i wouldnt change mine other than hp mods and a more comfortable seat because thats sucks big time
 
Hey JD what seat do have at present, I've the Gel touring set up with the same on the sissy bar, I can only ride for an hour and a half max the every 30 to 45 mins after that (but I am a fat F$%*ER)..... How long can you go? :?
 
I have the gel seats and they are better than stock,i get a sore but after about an hour,and if i go much longer 2 hours max it drives me mental and i just have to stop,It sucks
 
We dont have to many options especially over here,its :twisted: like we live in a big cave,the dealer were i bought my bike from is over three hours away and they are total arse wipes so I wont be buying any thing from them so I will have to order from USA ot may be a MEX seat,Dragon will hate me for this but the corbins get pretty good reviews
 
I like my Corbin. It is very firm, but stays comfortable for the long haul. Softer seats seem cushy at first but usually pressure points come through. The Corbin spreads out the weight and stays comfortable, but is never cushy.

I have ridden dawn to dusk 14 hour twisties days, and have done 15.5 hours of interstate on the corbin seat with a backrest.

For me the backrest is very important. It enables me to unweight my butt periodically for 30-60 seconds at a time while riding. For me, this helps make ironbutt rides doable.
