Hey Everyone!
Got the Corbin to fit, shimmed the latch, chin fairing/belly pan, took all of 15 minutes, and the Ohlins took 45 minutes.
The Corbin feels GREAT! It cups my bum very nicely! Wife loves the backrest, feel much safer with it. :thumbup: She also made the comment, "Damn honey, that seat transforms the bike, it looks bad!"
The belly pan is pure bike porn. I simply love the way is looks! To my eye it really cleans up the lower part of the bike and the blue makes the bike look like a larger bike. Super easy to install.
Here's FZ6inNH's instructions on the install: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/4667-yamaha-lower-cowl-how.html
So if the belly pan is bike porn, the Ohlins is bike sex. WOW! First it was very easy to install. Fit perfectly the first time, no fiddling at all, two bolts and a rubber strap, that was it.
The rear suspension is much more compliant. It simply conforms to the bump and wheel just travels over it with no skip, hop or jar. It is really a world of difference.
Two up the bike no longer wallows and feels much more in control.
The Ohlins photos are on the wife's camera and I need to find some jacked up Kodak USB cable to download them. I have 4 different USB cables and none fit it! I'll do a much more detailed write up once I get the photos.
You can see the yellow spring in a couple of the photos.
