LOVE the way this looks!

The evolution of the bike since I first took delivery in 2022:

I really like the way that looks, I might want to get that on my EGO here.  Does it raise or lower you much from the original seat?

If I slide back, it FEELS a little bit higher. However, like every Corbin seat I've owned, it'll eventually break in to the shape of my pelvic bones and will likely feel the same height. More importantly, there is more room to slide back, so it makes it easier to get into a tuck at highway speeds.

Hmm, maybe Ill try them on the Ribelle first then.  Not sure I need to be sliding back that much on the EGO, that's kind of what I am trying NOT to do is sliding all over, im already tucked. I still love the way they look though.

Just because you CAN slide back doesn't mean you HAVE to...

You did exactly what I was going to do with the fairings. Did you paint them and if so, what was your process?

Did you use the Duplicolor Barcelona red paint?

[JaimeC]

I'm NOT that ambitious.  I brought the panels and the front fender to a local shop recommended by several of my friends. I told him I wanted the panels painted the same color as the fender. I couldn't get a color code from Zero (I asked). So I counted on the guy at the shop (at this point, I'll refer to him as "The Artist") to do the match and he did it PERFECTLY. He also did the paint on my 1999 K1200LT, as the saddlebag lids had faded really bad while the rest of the bike looked fine.  He doesn't have a website, but has a presence on a few social media sites if anyone is interested.  Shortened Google Link to his info:  https://is.gd/2B4Yq1

OH!  One more thing! After I got the panels back I ordered a pair of these from AF-1 to replace the ones he had to remove before painting:
