Lamont, what do YOU think of this? I think the side storage compartments look pretty good, but it's hard to tell since they are not finished. What about that front part? Is that a new style windshield? Hmmm. What do you think of that? I would like to hear your opinion.

I know you asked for LAMONT's opinion ;D but...

it looks like they're going for a fairing to which small or large windshields may be mounted, sortof like this:

The windshield will be more of a wind deflector than a windshield. I like it. Makes the Spyder look even more radical than it is. I've heard good things about the effectiveness of this system on other bikes.

The bags ... well, that's another story. They look humongous!! My experience with Corbin's "beattle bags" has been usually "style over function". They normally don't have a lot of usable space on the inside.

Corbin is really proud of their products which is reflected in their pricing. On the other hand, they are drop dead gorgeous and first quality build. You get what you pay for!!!

Not too keen on the saddlebags but if they can make a fairing with a stereo in it, I'd be interested :bigthumbsup:

I think that for those that are going to do some serious touring.... those saddlebags will be awesome and look like they belong.

Not my cup of tea..... but looks pretty good.

You have to admit that painted black, with these accessories, we should be seeing a Spyder in the next Batman movie. The Batmobile had nothing on this! ;D
