Thanks for lending your bike out. You can tell him an Illinois rider is in the market for one too. Where you headed for your trip? My son in California and I meet up out that way for extended road trips.
Ned Pepper Yes Corbin do a great selection of seats. There are people out there that will rebuild you seat to your liking. For Shocks again I would go for the Hagon's. And I do believe they have an extensive outlet somewhere over the pond in your neck of the woods. Ride Safe Joe.
Corbin is going to sell the solo seat as a standard seat for the SM. My bike will be model. Trip will be to MN to pick up a riding buddy then on to Michigan, it's a bucket list thing. How far will I go? I'll ride until I decide not to.
