Installed my new slipstreamer 12 windshield in dark smoke. Theyve changed the shape of them and flow with the shape of the stock fairing much better, in my opinion. Still waiting on new bars.
I'm not sure who you were addressing here, but regarding the seat: I found the pilot seat to be ok, but the pillion was bad for my wife in two ways. First, it was pretty narrow. She's maybe 5'4", 120 lbs, so not too big, but it was still uncomfortable for her in less than an hour. Second, and more importantly, the slope down made her cling to me for dear life. She rode home on back the day I bought it, and I thought she was exaggerating the effect of the slope till I tried sitting on it myself. You slide right off. I bought a sissy bar the next day. Still replaced the seat with a Corbin though, and it's excellent.
Same thing with my wife. She's about 5'2" and about 115lb. She also clung to me for dear life the first time I took her out. She said the riding position was comfortable but feared for her life. So I got the short sissy bar and now she loves it. Says the seat is comfortable although she's only been about 45min straight on it before we stopped for a break. Me personally, I'm 5'11" and can go about an hour and 15 min before I need to get off and move around. Thinking about getting another seat but don't wanna spend $350+ only to find out it's not any more comfortable than the stock seat
So got my bike back from the dealer after having them install the Custom Dynamics Front running/turn signal light relocation kit. I'm pretty pleased with them. Plus they cleaned up the bars.
Moose The new windshield looks great. I did the light smoke Gustafsson but wish I did the dark smoke for what I will do with the rest of the bike. Also your engine guards. I forget what they are called or who makes them?

Those so look nice. And definitely clean up the bars. Added visibility of the drl is a definite plus.

Yeah, I bought and returned 2 or 3 seats, and they were all good quality, actually, and worked for my wife, but not for me. I finally took a chance on the Corbin and have been very happy with it. A painful process though, unless you luck into the right one right off. Honestly, footboards did as much for my long-range comfort as the seat, but that was another expensive change. I ride for at least a couple of hours a day though, so it's been worth it.
