I'm currently riding a Kawasaki Ninja 650R, and for the last year or so have been considering when I have the $ to purchase a Concours (2010+).
If I were to purchase a C14, I would probably go for the Helibars, Corbin seat with Queen seat, highway pegs, and still have to find some passenger armrests.
My goal is to have a comfortable ride for myself and to be able to take trips with the GF. She of course wants a queen seat setup.
Anyone with any experience with trying to add comfort to the C14?
I like the sporty feel to my 650R especially in corners(I've added a Givi 46 trunk and have some soft saddlebags for longer trips), however the seat comfort even with a corbin leaves a lot to be desired.
So I come here to ask, can the C14 be the bike for me? Or do I have to go to a Cruiser tourer (or the dreaded goldwing) if I want comfort.
I'm not one for performance mods, and while I love acceleration I have no desire to spend much if any time in the triple digits. I also take corners cautiously, especially blind corners to the point where my brother has to ride his cruiser further back. Yes I only have 4 years riding experience but am comfortable with my 650R, just don't like blind turns and sitting on a highway for long on it (cross winds especially).
Any comments feedback is appreciated.
I figured accessories would be the best forums since those who are looking to make a C14 as comfortable as possible are most liking ones who have accessorized.
Thank you!
