The new wind management system from Corbin's design team is another masterpiece! Specially engineered to provide adjustable wind protection for different riding uses and rider stature. Simple to adjust and easy to install, it blends well with the style of your VTX to add to the custom appeal. Gracefully contours the front end following the lines of the bike while creating wind protection for you at freeway speed. We even provide it prepainted to coordinate with your stock color!
You can see how the placement of the fairing can adjust for rider stature. Ideally you will want to dial in the fairing height to the position that provides the best protection from wind and noise while still allowing you to easily look over the top of the fairing. At higher speeds, you will likely want to lower the fairing and get yourself behind it to keep a smaller profile through the air. Conversely moving the fairing up during poor weather will give you better protection from the elements.
The triple rib along the trailing edge is designed to create turbulence in the laminar airflow which actually reduces wind noise and buffeting. This makes the bike much more comfortable to ride at higher speeds and for longer distances. Because of the unique design of the Corbin fairing, we were able to bring the fairing closer to you which keeps you in the slipstream and provides better protection. Along the top edge, we've mounted a small bump pad to protect you in the case of accidental contact. Naturally, we expect to coordinate this bump pad in the material of your choice to coordinate with your Corbin saddle design. The model shown here uses our standard black leather.
Placement of the Trimtab adjusting knob is front and center making it easy to reach and adjust with either hand. You can even adjust the fairing height while riding. Notice also how the included chrome & black brackets are designed to fit in with the look of your front end for total integration. Triple plate chrome brackets and adjusting arms look great and are well suited to withstand the elements. Please note that although we show the fairing moving by itself in some of the animations on this page, it is NOT motorized and is adjusted by turning the Trimtab knob manually.
Notice how the top, trailing edge is the widest point of the fairing. This is designed to direct wind pressure outwards and around your body. This area of the fairing is also where the fairing curves upward at a greater angle making it the area of highest pressure. Since this high pressure area is behind the steering head, it has a tendency to act as a rudder and give a steering stabilizer effect to the front end. The faster the bike moves, the more pronounced this effect becomes.
Trimtab fairing comes prepainted. We do not offer a Trimtab fairing in primer only, so if you're planning on a custom paint job, simply order it in black. This way all of the painter prep work is done and it's ready to go. Of course you have a wide choice of leather styles and colors to choose from for the bump pad so please be sure to specify on the order form. To take a look at the materials available, just click on the general information button at the top of the page.
Although the Trimtab fairing appears simple in its design, there is a lot of testing and behind the scenes engineering involved.
To see how it all works, just click on this image and we'll take you over to a page with more technical information (and the occaisional silly animation too).
