Noobtastic14 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Posted September 7, 2013 It is obvious the bags were not designed for the current layout. Also, you can clearly see how much volume I have removed from the tail section. The OEM 6gen has a very crowded touring rear end. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Posted September 8, 2013 I really don't mind the awkward look of the bags because 99% if my rides do not involve them. My real issue is that I designed so heavily around the OEM seat that as of right now the Corbin does not fit and the wife is not happy about it. The lines on the two seats are completely different so I'll have to get semi creative with the switch back and forth. I'm considering keeping the handles on for awhile to break up the red in the back as well as shooting the underside black (coming to a point with the tail) I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

2loud4uboyz Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 Turned out nice, flows with the lines of the bike pretty good sir.
Noobtastic14 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Posted September 14, 2013 Thank you! When I get motivated again I will adjust the pits/voids/out of contours but for now I'm just riding the shit out of it. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Airborne Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 I love it man! I love that bike anyway but you made it cooler! And I'll bet it sounds fantastic...
Noobtastic14 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Posted September 15, 2013 The bike is quite amazing. The rumble from the V4 just isn't like anything else out there- if it was 50lbs lighter with twenty more hp it would be close to the perfect bike. As it sits it is just a bit overweight and underpowered. I'm hoping an Power Commander will smooth out the Vtech engagement and richen up the mixture for some more ponies. Also, considering going +2 in the rear to liven it up a bit. Going all out 5th and 6th don't have much pull anyways. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Posted September 15, 2013 Today I bit the bullet and spent a whopping $5 on a can of black dip to hit the bottom of the tail. I felt that from most angles the tail was "a big red blob" so my first draft is a tapered black bottom that comes to a point at the tail. I may end up reshooting it a few times to figure out what I like. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Noobtastic14 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Posted September 16, 2013 It doesn't happen often, but today was that magical day that reminds me of California. Perfect temperature, and perfect conditions. We did 200mi of mostly back roads plus a ferry ride to wrap it up. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.
