Corbin solo, Lindby Linbar, oem windsheild initial review

[womper]

Corbin Solo seat and pillion:
I got the corbin solo and pllion due to the stock seat was too uncomfortable on my tailbone. (could barely walk the next day of a longish ride)

put the seat on and it's a huge difference.

The seat put me down a bit and more forward... forward enough that the 'boys' are now on the tank. This also shortened the distance to the forward controls. that's not a great thing, but i find i'm sitting up in a better posture and feels like a standard as opposed to forward controls.

i like it actually. the only downside is that i find my lower back hurting a bit, but it may just be that i have to break in the seat a bit more. I plan on getting the solo backrest, (and i have a Grandtour bag on the way) so this won't be an issue in the future.

cons: price

Lindby Linbars:
I wanted someplace to stretch my legs on rides... i find them comfortable enough for now. putting my boot on the linbar puts my knee above the tank, yet it's comfortable in a way... it stretches out my spine... or i can just stretch them out... gives me options at any rate. i think it's the only bar that looks ok for the M50 without ruining the whole look of the bike.

cons: pain in the a$$ installing the bar. i'm not a mechanical wizard, but when the bottom bolts were finally in, the top was all out of alignment. i think the bars were off a tad.
it was tight on one side (had to pull the bar away from the frame with all my might to get the spacer in) and it was loose on the other (1 inch gap WITH the spacer!) so i had to put that side with all my might.

once the bolts were in, i just tightened it so that i put itself more-or-less straight into place. you don't notice anything crooked unless you look REALLY close.

i'm about 6', 240 lbs and i have a 32" inseam.

Suzuki windshield:

i was worried that it would be too tall/big for the bike. It fits really well.
install time was about 15-20 mins tops... easy as pie.
totally lessened the amount of air i was getting on the chest.

cons:i find myself speeding more often now. before i put on the windsheild at 65mph+ i was being battered around...
i was going about 90 mph for a 1/2 hour and didn't notice the wind much.
