I was suprised! I wrote Corbin, letting them know how happy I was with the seat and bags, and they put my letter on the website.

Oh giddouttahere! I've gotten a lot more positive comments from non-motorcycle folks on this bike. Think it's a lot more 'approachable' than a sportbike. I bet I coulda sold half a dozen ZZRs to guys looking at getting a bike to sport tour on. ____________

So I guess I won't be seeing my e-mails that I wrote them on their testimonal page, huh? Especially after they lost my seat when I sent it in for "alterations on their craftsmanship" (or lack there of). Did I mention that they lost it THREE times! That might explain the reason they had it for over TWO months!
Now that I have put the OEM seat back on, I have a first hand experience of how their seat can screw up the fit and finish of a 12R's body work. I'll never buy another Corbin product nor will I accept one if they gave or even PAID me to take one.
On the other hand, I am happy that you are pleased enough with your Corbin products to tell them so. It's not very often a manufacturer hears from a satisfied customer. Usually, it's just the "grumblers" like myself.

Nice letter. I've heard people have had their motorcycles tipped over on the ferries. I took the ferry over to Bremerton last weekend, Coast Guard was inspecting the regular ferries so we were on the Walla Walla Ferry and it was a piece.
So are the hard bags for the 12 just as good as the ones for your ZZR?

I wouldn't put hard bags on my 12 on a bet! I just can't see perverting a 12 like that! It's an open-class sportsbike, not a sport tourer!

Oh come on noe. You just can't get the beattle bags to match the race bike's color skeme.
