Another innovative, break-through technology from the Corbin wizards! Our Trimtab Fairing is specially engineered to provide adjustable wind protection for different riding uses and rider stature. Simple to adjust and easy to install, this fairing blends well with the style of your Vulcan. Trimtab gracefully contours the front end following the lines of the bike while creating wind protection for spirited riding. This feature was designed to help your bike slide through the wind rather than plow through it!
Not only does the Trimtab adjust for rider stature, but the adjustment feature also allows you to set the ideal height to take high-pressure wind off your face and chest while dialing in the most efficient position. Our highly aerodynamically efficient design allows your bike to move through the air mass easier which allows greater fuel economy and higher performance. Ideally you will want the fairing height set 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 the wind as it reaches you. 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 places you more in the slipstream. Along the top edge, we've mounted a small bump pad to protect you in the case of accidental contact. We coordinate this bump pad in the material of your choice to coordinate with your Corbin saddle design.
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. We also include a prepainted ABS cover for bar clamp brackets to give a very clean look. Please note that although we show the fairing moving by itself in animations on this page, it is NOT motorized and is adjusted by turning the Trimtab knob manually.
Notice how the top, trailing edge of the fairing is where it 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.
The Fairing and hardware cover come prepainted to coordinate with your stock paint job. 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.
Fibertech Construction
Manufactured of our exclusive Fibertech™ material for durability and a clean finish. Specially formulated for Corbin, Fibertech™ gives us very tight tolerances with minimal shrinkage so each part comes out true to the original design.
Adjustable Travel
Trimtab fairing has approximately five inches of travel when measured at the trailing edge. Adjust the slipstream to your stature and current riding conditions with a simple twist of the wrist.
Leather Bump Pad
To guard you in the case of accidental contact with the fairing, we provide a padded bump pad on the top edge. Choose from our wide range of material options for a custom look or coordinate it to your Corbin seat.
Corbin's fairing comes to you ready to install with all
components included except for a threadlock material (ie Loctite). Complete instructions included with fairing. This fairing was developed and tested to work with the stock handlebars. Use of other bars may effect performance, especially with the use of wider bars.
We use a High-Temp Stainless lubricant on the adjuster when it is assembled. With normal use, it should not need to be re-lubricated.
