Hiya,

Just a little note to say a big hello. Just aquired a 1990 cbr 1000f in red / white livery. Been loving it so far and am happy to have found a forum board for fellow owners of these machines.

Look forward to participating on the site.

Thanks for now and see you all around. )

 

welcome, great bike, I've got the same year and color

Thanks for the welcome, looks a nice bike from that piccie. I see you also have the original blue seat, I'm afraid mine has been replaced at some point in the bikes life for a black one. Do you have a rack on the back for attaching luggage?

The cbr1000f seems to be a bit of a rarity here in Scotland, have yet to see another one of similar style, I know of a blue 88 hurricane local to my area but thats about it.

Look forward to being a member of the community here tho.

Thanks.

 

I actually sold my stock seat, the one in the pic is a Corbin. That is a Givi wingrack can carry 3 hard bags.

 

Does the Corbin seat give better comfort on longer rides? I was thinking of possibly fitting some risers to mine as well as I feel it in my wrists after a while.

Thanks.

 

The Corbin is a lot better on longer rides. I added GenMar risers which solved the wrists problem.

 

Did you have to adjust your forks up in the clamps? I am thinking of getting the risers but am not sure about how they install.

 

Nope, just need to pop off the bars, slide the GenMar risers on and attach the bars again. The whole process only takes about 20 mins.

Greetings and welcome to the site. Nice looking bike. You asked about the Corbin seat - my '91 has a Corbin Gunfighter and Lady and I can't say enough about the comfort. Riding until the tank is empty is no problem. With this seat you sit lower, almost in the bike, and that changes your posture. I'm 6'1" with fairly long arms and find no need of risers with this seat. When riding my son's '88 it feels lilke I'm sitting higher and have more forward lean to reach the bar. I'd probably want risers with the stock seat.
