How tall are you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m 5’8” and would like to be able to stretch my legs out further than the factory seat allows. It looks like the Corbin may allow you to do that.
I’m 5’6”. When you order the seat Corbin asks a lot of questions about your size. I’m guessing everything is custom made for your size and application, but that would be a good question to ask them just to verify it’s a good option for you. I would buy one again in a heartbeat.
I've just read the rules for the 2025 cannonball { about 20 minutes ago, literally } & something has come to mind I was thinking that I'd prefer to have an Xmax300 (292cc) since its got a nice stable 14/15" wheel size & decent hwy power, so probably wouldn't have any issues whatsoever Then I read = (13" wheel size maximum) Ia this"suggested" or actually something someone is looking at.? With perhaps a handicap applied to all those Honda's with 14" front wheels & others ect ect .. Maybe I'm overthinking this 🤔 Although I know on those dirt sections it would make a difference There is a few scoots running bigger wheels as stock wheels already registered Same as last year & the year before I think this would be the only Grey Area remaining that I can find
You don’t have to meet all the requirements, just 3 of the 5 I believe. I may be wrong on the number but the point is that you are allowed a free pass on a couple. Thats why the wheel size can sneak through. The XMax is absolutely allowed. If you are trying to be highly competitive the SMax is one of, if not the best choice. That’s exactly why I bought mine. If you aren’t looking to be highly competitive then just find a scooter that you find comfortable and one that probably is as close to the displacement cutoff you can.
@@bennieaust Scooter cannonball organizers just responded to this same curious question I had., Yes., " 3 of the 5 " like you had mentioned & Since I'm 6'-4" 275 I'd probably be looking for comfort & be willing to take a handicap penalty for the displacement & wheel size. I'm very impressed with your auxiliary fuel tank setup.. well done 👍
@@emerymahylis944 thanks!! The additional fuel is so, so necessary IMHO. The setup worked flawlessly, the only catch is just that I have to manual open the valve when the main tank gets low to refill it. That’s not a big deal though. I’m not a big guy so the SMax works great. I think it’s a smart call to get one that fits you well.
@@bennieaust When you mention= "manually open the valve from the auxiliary tank when the stock tank is nearly empty" The only part I haven't wrapped my head around is the new fuel line coming into the grommet at the top of the stock tank that was originally the stock tank air vent.? & Just by length of hose/fuel line between the auxiliary tank your avoiding vapor lock.? Or is that how the ball valve is functioning.. = in that when its closed to auxiliary fuel preventing it from gravity feeding downward its in an open position venting to atmosphere preventing vapor lock acting as the stock tank vent at a higher elevation & then when you reach behind you & flip the switch its now closed that air vent function & it becomes the path of auxiliary fuel through the same line.? {I could clearly see the vent from the top of the auxiliary fuel tank so that was clear) What happens if you have filled the stock tank & closed it screw on cap & then fill the auxiliary tank to the top & then open the ball valve to allow gravity flow.? Does the stock tank fuel cap leak.? Or does it develop vapor lock after a while.? Lets say someone's going to basically copy something awesome they saw on the internet {like what you've done} & they wanted to refine it further if possible .. Would that be to have the auxiliary tank exactly the same volume as the stock main tank.? {Or a liter less} so when the stock main tank is depleted or the engine is just starting to complain about fuel quantity that's the exact moment to flip the switch & 99% refill the stock tank & 100% empty the auxiliary tank.? Would there be any benefit to this idea.? Or would you end up just needing to take half the gas station stops you used to & wouldn't have enough fuel to complete entire 700 mile sections in one shot per-day.? Since your axillary tank is at least a gallon greater than your stock tank.. 🤔 I'm thinking once you flip the switch = the stock tank is 100% full with some percentage of the auxiliary tank full "breathing through the very top vent eliminating vapor lock" So maybe you could flip that switch immediately after filling up the lower stock tank & securing its screw on cap & the only thing to remember is to close that ball valve before refills result of gravity Splitting apples or hairs here 😅
@@emerymahylis944 I can't answer many of those questions, but I can answer a couple of them. My Aux tank is not plumbed into the vent, it's plumbed into the top of the stock tank with a fitting I added. When My gas gauge reads low, I turn on the ball valve that connects the 2 tanks, for a couple minutes to let fuel gravity feed from the Aux tank to the factory tank, then I close the valve again. I repeat as needed until the Aux tank is eventually empty. It's a little bit of fooling around, but IMHO a very small price to pay for a huge fuel range. It worked flawlessly for the 2023 Scooter Cannonball so I will not be changing anything. Feel free to copy and/or refine my setup to whatever fits your needs the best.

Good video Bennie.. I'll see you in 2025 🛵 (#50)
Thanks! Can't wait for 2025!
