He wants to be able to let the "boys" dangle, natural like.

Careful there...you let them boys dangle too much and the fan monster will get em.

I have the corbin carbon gunfighter and it is pretty comfy.



However, there are some things to look out for.
Fit is excellent.
It weighs a heck of a lot more than the stocker.
If you ride in the rain, don't get their leather.
They make a vinyl version of the carbon look, but they want 225.00 buckaroonies +shipping both ways to recover it.
You tend to slide around ALOT on the leather carbon.
I slid around so much, the seam of my pants wore off the carbon look and opened up the raw leather.
They wouldn't cover it under warranty because I ride it in the rain.
With the triple tail folded in the down position, it will leave an imprint in the rear part of the seat.
Water also got trapped between the triple tail and the seat overnight, and damaged the leather beyond repair.
Their customer service pretty much sucks.

I have bought a corbin seat for the last 5 bikes that I have owned and loved every one of them, but I will not buy another one due to the recent problems with this seat and their lack of customer service.

Buy at your own risk

I guess they expected that since it's on a "Harley", it would only see about 1,000 miles, all dry, between bars and antique shops.

Ft_bstrd: I resent that statement. When I rode a "real" Harley, I never went to an antique shop.

"Even after converting to American those prices seem way too high to me. You might want to try our Sponsors and save some money."

You are right of course, figured I would support my local dealer, and it is easier, Canadian customs can be a PITA.

Supertoon,

I've bought and shipped Radio Control car parts in and out of Canada. Customs is definitely tricky. I understand your pain. Maybe if you get to know them well enough, they will start giving you a good customer discount. I also have the ZG windshield. I got mine on Ebay from St Paul Harley. Do a search for Zero Gravity Ulysses and you will find the smoke or clear.

Thanks for the links, I find the ZG looks like it belongs. I am using the Laminar lip on the stock screen now, works well but looks a little "messy". My hope is quiet air and less turbulence. I have ordered my stuff in Canada this time, but you can be sure I will cross border shop one of our sponsors for a exhaust up-grade.
