6'5"  250# and liking my new Corbin. I was crushing my 2000 OEM seat all the way to the pan. The Corbin feels like a hard horse saddle to me. Good for up to 3 hours (so far) and I'm still in the break in period.

Nice looking seat, but do you really get to use the backrest? I know that even if I scoot up on my seat there is no way I would ever be able to lean back to use it.

Use it every time I ride.  I guess you can not see it in the picture, but I do not have stock bars.  I have GL1200 bars which allow me to sit completely upright.  Also being 6'5" helps a bit to.

Can you show better pics of the bars? What year are the bars and what did you have to do to attach them?

[fred-houston]

The bars are from a GoldWing GL1200.  I got them used off of Ebay.  There are a number of 7/8" bars out there, you just have to find the one that you like.  Be careful of the Goldwing bars, some of them are 7/8" at the grip, but the base is one inch.  I had to mill out my adapter a bit to make mine fit.

The adapter for mine I purchased used off this forum.  They come up for sale every now and then.  Some are Heli Bar adapters and others are manufactured by individuals or companies.  I think Murphs sells them.

Because I went so extreme, I did have to lengthen the clutch, brake and choke cables.  They were purchased from Murph.  I was able to reroute the throttle cable to make it work.

It turned out to be a bigger and more expensive job than I expected, but the end result was worth it.

Sweet, thanks.

What don't you like about your daylong? I have one being built on the 12th of this month. If I knew you had one for sale I would have inquired about it. I am close to your size so that wouldn't be a problem.
