Not to hijack my own thread now that we're starting to get pics of actual faired Zeros, but, how's the Corbin seat working for you Terry?

The photo above shows my Corbin seat. It's a great seat, worthy of 400-500 miles per day in the saddle easily.

It does take time to wear in, up to 1000 miles before it's suited to your backside (more if you weigh less, I hear, and I'm ~155lbs and it did take a while to be really exceptionally good).

Yeah, they told me the same thing when I put a Corbin on my R100RS back in the 90's. On the first ride, I did a 1000 mile day. I didn't want to waste time with an extended break in period.

The Corbin seat was very stiff for the first week of riding.  It actually felt like I might want to put the stock seat back on for a longer trip.  But it quickly broke in perfectly.  After about 1000 miles or so it was incredible.  I can go all day 500+ miles sometimes on my Zero riding to LA and back with the superchargers and I never once think about how far I've ridden because its so comfortable.  Easily 10x more comfortable than the stock seat!!

Never any shifting around anymore to relieve pressure points, it just fits my rear like a glove!  Highly recommended to make the first upgrade anyone does to their Zero to get a Corbin seat!!  Superchargers are a close tie but second in my opinion.  If you get superchargers, you will be able to ride more hours a day and will want the seat broken in with shorter 100 mile days first before you start doing 500 mile days with the superchargers.

OK, anybody else have pics of a fairing they mounted on their Zero? Also, any detail shots of the mounting brackets would be great.

I see that it's time I expand the wiki's fairing coverage:
