New Trim-Tab from Corbins - Written by Keith Fudge

There is nothing like being on your bike and feeling the wind against your face; however, the wind isn’t always your friend and can lead to rider fatigue. That’s why Corbin Industries now produces the revolutionary Trim Tab fairing, the best thing to come along since the windshield!

Always looking for a way to build a better product for riders, Corbin sent Special Projects Manager, Chance Darling, out in the field to do some long-distance riding research. The first solution to the problem of excessive wind was to simply add a windshield. However, with more riding, Chance discovered that a traditional windshield created as many problems as it solved. What Chance found out was that as the wind deflected around the windshield, it placed a tremendous amount of pressure on the rider’s back and the bike’s handlebars, thus creating a high degree of instability. Chance also discovered that with a typical windshield, looking through the shield itself creates a degree of distortion, just as looking through any lens would. With conventional windshields or fairings, there is always the chance of glare and a film of bugs that can reduce the rider’s visibility. So, rather than simply “block” the wind, Chance and the gang from Corbin’s decided to take a different approach and attempt to “control” it. Consequently, the Corbin Trim Tab fairing was born.

As previously stated, the Trim Tab doesn’t block the wind. It controls it. It helps to direct the wind up and around the rider, and that leads to a more stable and comfortable ride. Another advantage to Corbin’s sleek design is that the bike is now more aerodynamically efficient which leads to better gas mileage! With the Corbin Trim Tab, wind noise is also reduced, and that helps make the ride more pleasurable as well. As with all Corbin products, quality is #1. Each Trim Tab is hand made by American craftsmen and is held to the highest standards of durability, fit, and finish. Oh yeah, by the way, it’s also adjustable! While being so functionally complete, the Corbin Trim Tab also has one final thing going for it: it’s just downright sexy! So, with the Corbin Trim Tab, you now have the best of both worlds: a more comfortable and stable ride and a sleek custom look that makes your bike look great!
