Anyone got one, and how tall are you?

I sent them an email last night. I told them that if they can guarantee me no buffeting, it would be an easy sale for them. I'm a little over 6'3" tall, have 3 helmets, and 3 seats of varying heights. Head-shake city with the Memphis Shades.....

Has anyone used the $1400 contraption from Corbin? Strange, it only comes in Black for my bike, but they show many colours in their gallery, but another unit they sell (touring fairing) is available primed.... and, as usual, they didn't respond to my email. They are brutal.

rthomp159,
If you want one, just saddle your scoot up and go. It would be a nice ride from MD.

When I was in CA. the owner installed it with me sitting on the bike and I've left it the way he put it on. If you want a picture up close I can email it, I think.

That's good to know. I'm 6'2", so I'd definitely take the 16" rather than the 14".

Thanks!

If you don't like wind going past your head, maybe you should sell the bike.

Man, don't let a little wind take away from your ride. If you turn this into your white whale you'll always be pissed riding around or you'll have so many windshields at your house you won't be able to afford the gas to take the bike out... Lose the screen and take the 'balance' wind management approach. I think the next failed screen attempt is going to be more costly and just as effective as you others.

I think you're right, as it's already happening with all of my seats. Thanks for giving my head another shake...... haha...... JR
