Author Message   Sculelos Posted on Saturday, October 29, 2005 - 12:57 am:        Well I'm 6ft,4inc and wander if theres anything I can do when riding my blast except for hugging it like a big monkey on a minibike? Thanks for any help.   Gearheaderiko Posted on Saturday, October 29, 2005 - 01:40 am:        Superbike handlebars or lower bars like clip-ons or Crossroads. Start with the superbike bars at about $22 shipped. Corbin seat will make the bike look and feel bigger as well as being much more comfortable. You wont be able to slide back as far as the stock tall seat but Corbin can make them custom fit (taller, hump further back, as well as custom colours). A tank bag and saddle bags will make it look bigger too!

I overheard his wife ask him what my bike was. He said he didn't know, but that it was a good looking "scooter". Then I fired it up and shredded his eardrums. I think size of the sound that came out of my bike confused him to no end - judging by they way they both stared at me as I drove away at least. Scooter...LOL   Mmelvis Posted on Monday, October 31, 2005 - 04:57 pm:        A cool looking scooter though....Have a great day   Gearheaderiko Posted on Monday, October 31, 2005 - 07:12 pm:        For those who may not be familiar with biker slang (HD riders, not Valkrie wannabees), a 'scooter' is another word for motorcycle. Though since he was on a Goldwing, he probably meant scooter! LOL!

Different Handlebars, rearsets. I'm 5'11" and the Blast is still a tiny bike with those mods. The stock tall seat is comprimise. It makes the bike taller, but the seat is so soft, it makes the bike uncomfterable after 100 miles. The Corbine seat looks lower, but the seat is firmer, more comfterable, and you actually sit higher on it. James   Xgecko Posted on Tuesday, November 01, 2005 - 08:23 pm:        Jprovo's right the Corbin seat will actually have you siting higher than the stock tall seat...and your butt will be oh soo much happier. Now if they could only get it to fit RIGHT...oh well I got mine to look right...eventually
