Just purchased the bike a couple months ago and working on a couple minor modifications. So far, so good on the Corbin. It's not super soft, but the shape is much more conducive to longer rides. I was surprised from ordering to receiving was about 2 weeks.

I didn't love the price of any bags systems, so I used the adventure mounts and custom fit a Pelican 1450 case to it. Used a rigid molle panel on the other side with quick & easy fabricated 16 gauge plate metal bracket.

Also not a huge fan of the # plates, but didn't care for the exposed ECU, etc., so I made a little plastic cover that seemed to do the trick.

Of course the Vance & Hines and Cobra airbox + Ivan's. Added the Rizoma mirrors, but previous owner did the fender eliminator stuff, which I quite liked.

Next will be the Koso, and maybe a Motodemic light? Maybe some suspension upgrades down the line, but then again, I sold my sport bike for a reason...

Would love to see what others have done for bags. OEM and most aftermarket saddlebags are so expensive!

Very nice and glad your enjoying your bike thanks for posting.
The gators look 99.9% perfect and pinch free two.

Nice bike build.
I have nelson rig adventure saddle bags on mine with no racks, they're for small dual sport bikes normally. I have the bike taped up under them so they dont rub the plastics scratching it.

Made my own bag mounts and bought Viking Bags. $109.00. Made my own rack too. $19 cooler (Hard Liner inside.)

Like the setup!! Good work with the pelican case, that’s a fair idea… are you worried about scraping that plate?

It's a really good question. The pegs actually scrape just a bit before the plate does. The way I ride this bike, I don't scrape too often. I actually don't trust the suspension or the knobby tires much beyond the limits imposed by the peg feelers anyway. I thought about a longer suspension to decrease the trail and increase the suspension travel, and ride heighth, but the more I think about it, if I really want a bike I can flog through the corners, I probably need to get something a little sportier. I had an FZ8 which I sold last year, primarily because I wanted something a little more laid back. I do miss it, though, that bike was a beast in the corners, and the acceleration was amazing. I wish I had a big enough paycheck and garage to keep a few more bikes in the stable! But as far as all around fun, it's really hard to beat the SCR! Just a great, all around bike!
