Sweet looking ride.

I never understood the solo seat, but that's just me.

Thanks....I have a backseat for it as well. It removes with 1 nut in about 2 seconds. I had to buy the Mustang seat so my wife could ride with me. The factory seat is a JOKE and after she rode 1 time she said " I'm not riding with you again until you buy me better seat and backrest.".....well guess what I had to go and buy...LOL

Why would I want to pack anyone.........my spousette has her own scoot and it's much better that way . Altho my Corbin has the capacity to pack pillion whenever I am asked to pack someone I tellz dem it's a solo seat.......

great job...got a rear end shot...all you need to do now is lower that rear a little to give it that streamlined look...

Nice, clean, semi-retro...good job! Very nice boulevard cruiser with some muscle! I really like the custom front fender.

Your girl gotta cute, single sister age 18-30? If not, the solo seat stays. Some of us here have no need for additional seating...not necessarily by choice!

Well, since you asked for opinions. I'll be the jerk that doesn't like it.

- the mirrors look ridiculously non-functional and were probably just as ridiculously over-priced.
- ditto on the turn signals. My brother had similar signals on his bike and I could barely see them when following him one day, and I was watching for them!
- the points on the grips and front wheel look silly on an otherwise smooth looking bike.
- the air cleaner ruins the look of the motor.
- the pipes look too skinny and are probably way too loud.
- the front fender appears to be off-center.

OK, so I'm kidding (a little). I'm not a cruiser guy and it's much nicer than my bike!

Feel free to slam my bike when I post pics in a couple weeks.

I have almost the same mirrors. Yes, they are more or less non-functional...but they were only $90.00, so there!

Yeah mine are "so-so" as far as functional...not as bad as they seem. I never rely on mirrors anyways, I am a "turn your head and make sure" kinda rider. The only thing I check the mirrors for are those pesky little flashing blue lights that sometimes appear out of nowhere!

Yeah Yeah, lots of chrome and custom stuff, but what does she feel like to ride. More important, how does she make you feel, great idea for the pillion seat and backrest, just explain to the the goose that communication while riding is impossible.
