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 Suzuki 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!
In this view, 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 as the
wind 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 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 and molded cover come 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).
