Thank you very much.

Just a little different than stock, huh? 😉 🏍💨

I am so sorry I missed this question and left you hanging. I live in Colorado, so yes, much different climate here. I lived in SanAngelo, Texas myself, about 23 years ago... don't know if my opinion would be the same in the summer months there.

First...big apology for overlooking this question and leaving you hanging. The only piece I removed was the heat shield and yes, I would be mindful of the depth.

Hard to say for sure since there are so many different headsets and each may have its own nuance. I can say, I found it was failing for me until I followed the exact sequence mentioned in this video. I needed the Motarad app first, paired the app to the bike, then paired my phone to the bike. I then had to keep the headset off and turn it on AFTER I selected "Pair New Helmet" on the bike...putting the communication device in pairing mode didn't work. If this sequence doesn't work, you may need to look up some information specific to your headset. Hope it works out for ya. 🏍💨

They're still holding up well and getting the job done. They're not as comfortable as my Icon Slabtown or even my older Icon Truant 2, which I could wear all day at work. But, they aren't bad for a full day of riding and walking around wherever/whenever you stop.

Night and day difference. Would be ideal if it came standard.

Happy to help!

Yes, you can connect a passenger helmet as well. The music they can hear...I would imagine this has something to do with what coms system you use, what coms system they use and how everything is synced. Personally, I have my Cardo and my phone synced to the bike. This allows me to control my music (Streaming from Pandora) with the "wonder wheel" and it shows my music on the TFT screen. That said, if the passenger is also connected to the bike and not simply a mesh connection to your coms device, I would bet they can hear everything you can; music, phone calls...

No instructions included, but I go through every step in the video.

Glad to hear it helped!

Yes, I do believe they are.

That's a factory paint job on a 2016 ABS model.

You are certainly welcome. Thanks for watching.

Sorry for the delayed response, been a chaotic month for me. I don't recall off the top of my head. I did try to find the paperwork to review but can't locate it since I recently moved. Also, I have since traded in this bike so I can't go look at the tires. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this question. Thanks for checking out the video.

Exactly. If you do happen to go through, it's not the end of the world, but try not to.

Thanks Allen, I really do appreciate your comments and you taking the time to watch the video. Glad it helped...and much appreciation for the sub.

Hey Zac..thanks for checking out the video. The Corbin seat is one of those things that seems to feel better every time you throw a leg over the bike and pop it out of neutral. I have ZERO regrets spending the money on that seat. I can say, however, I have traded that bike in. Try as I might, the dealership demanded I keep the seat on the bike when I made the deal. The carbon covers are just a wrap. I bought some film from PepBoys and wrapped those in about 15-20 minutes. They were on the bike about two years and never gave me any issues. Thinking of doing another video wrapping some parts on my car. But, use a heat gun or hair dryer, don't over stretch it and the results will hold up. 🏍💨

@@colocruiser3239 I just ordered one! Had one on a Bonneville and loved it!

Appreciate the advice. Thanks for checking out the video.

Jose...first, thanks for watching the video, much appreciated. I did ride in the rain with these and they were fine, nothing notable to report. I did not, and would not, use these on dirt roads as they are a street tire and not designed for that type of use. I'm fortunate I have always lived on paved roads and thus, the dirt/broken pathways aren't something I've had to navigate on this particular bike.

@@colocruiser3239 It must be very good to have good roads, haha, here in Mexico we have good, bad and very bad. I use my bike mostly on the road and in the city, but sometimes I go on dirt roads, that's why I ask this, thank you, good video.

@@josemanuellealmarquez7612 no problem brother. Thanks again for checking out the channel and watching the video.

Glad this was helpful and I appreciate you watching. What color are you planning on painting the piece?

Sadly, no. I am having a new house built what should be finished in a little <3 weeks. I listed my house for sale in March and it sold much quicker than I anticipated. I had to move into temporary housing and my bike is currently being stored at a secured location since I do not have a garage. I should be moved and settled, back to riding and making new videos within the next month.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a reply. Glad the video was helpful.

I use a purple panda. It's covered in a dead cat and tucked into the cheek pad.

Yes indeed took between 5-6 months. Granted, I did get this bike one month prior to COVID becoming a global pandemic. I'm sure that had something to do with the delay. Also, I was told BMW refused the first shipment they recieved from their manufacturer. Hope yours arrives much sooner.

@@colocruiser3239 I checked with another f900xr owner who also purchased his bike in March of last year.......he didn't receive his engine spoiler until November!! that is some serious b.s....however....gosh it sure looks amazing once you get it on there. ride strong brother.

@@foolishcoyote. Thanks a bunch...stay safe out there.

Just make sure you don't drill into the catalytic converter and you should be fine. Honestly, not sure the placement of the holes will make a noticeable difference.

Depending on how long it's been applied, that's not always an option. But, if that works...rock on.

i bought a wunderlich queens edition seat from germany for about 400 euros, and is amazing. change the entire experience of riding this beautiful motorcycle.

I honestly don't know, but it doesn't feel like it does much in that regard (Thought I replied to this earlier, sorry for the delayed response)

Yes, you can connect your bike to your communication device. If your phone is also paired, you can use the wonder wheel to access your music play list (I use Pandora) and your phone contact list. This way you can go into the "Music" tab on your TFT screen and use the wonder wheel on the bike to pause music, skip a song or replay a song. You can go into the "Phone" tab to access your phone book or recent call log and place calls as well. This way, my phone stays in my handle bar bag or in my jacket and I ave full access to my music and contacts. While I can't speak for every communcation device...I have a Cardo Pactalk Bold attached to a Shoei RF1200 and it pairs seamlessly every time. I turn on the bike, wait about 3 seconds and then turn on the communication device.

Thank you very much. If you've checked with your dealership and they don't have it, I'm not sure this will help, but you could call other dealers and see if they give you different information. I bought mine at BMW of Denver and their number is 303.755.6400.

That's what I love about motorcycles, we can make them personally appealing to "us". I may wrap the fairing in carbon fiber this winter. 🤔

I'm not familiar with the seat on the CB500X. I believe the Corbin felt more comfortable immediately and certainly improved throughout the break-in period. I don't know for sure, but I would imagine using the Air-Hawk would keep the seat from breaking in properly, since it creates an air cushion and redistributes your weight. 🤔

Your post was exactly the information I was seeking. I just bought a 2021 Honda CB500X and literally was about to buy a Corbin for it hoping it would be softer than the oem. So thankful you shared your purchase experience with us. I would have been bummed out if my purchase did the opposite of my intended use. They are great looking seats though.

Honestly, it's more of an aesthetic piece. It may provide some minimal protection from items flying up towards the radiator...but mostly just for changing the look.

Hahahaha... the install is literally one bolt.

Thank you!

I think it does A LOT to complete the look of the bike!

Cost me just under $400, tax and all. The dealership offers customers 15% off everything the day they buy the bike. I asked for that discount since this piece wasn't available until now, and they said yes.

Well, I ended up NOT leaving these on the bike. I took one of the lugs and nuts off and just pulled it out to use it whenever I need the rear stand. That said, if you did leave it on, there shouldn't be any spin or vibration if you tighten up that nut flush/firm again the axle nut. With a hollow axle, the rod "floats" in the void and shouldn't move at all.

@@colocruiser3239 perfect! 🤘🏻
