I love it! Keep it up. If I ever finish my FXR, the next project will be "Anti-Shine"... Rigid, rusty, and rad!

So that cheap seat I installed when I built this bike has been KILLIN me. I loved the look because it is so small and fits the industrial / minimal style, but I was holding on for dear life every time I hammered the throttle because I was sliding off the back of the bike. My *** was also sore after riding. So I decided to grab one these leather La Rosa leather seats off flea bay. It bolted on nicely and is comfortable as hell. The pan has a nice bend to it and keeps me on the bike. I went with brown, I think it matches the surface rust and looks ok. If I change my mind I can always dye it black. It is a hair larger than the old seat and, like I said, I like the look of the old seat better. But I had to sacrifice a bit of looks for more comfort and performance. (After I wrote that last sentence I had to laugh a bit!!!)


I also have some shorter springs and was going to try and get the seat lower to the frame. Only problem is that the seat wont clear the battery with thos springs. So it stays at this height.


What do ya think??

Gee whiz, Nobody????


You guys dont like me anymore????


Well I am gonna ditch the springs and make hard mounts. I am gonna get it as close to the battery as possible. Gonna be about a half or 3/4 of an inch lower. The springs look kind cappy I think.

Na man. Bike is awesome and seat looks better. I've been fighting with this S&S 124 build. I've not been keeping up on forum stuff too much. You put her down for winter?

You can pick up 2 mini air bags for the seat.

Awesome. I'm digging the Mad Max look.

IMO, the seat springs give it a cool, old school look. I like the remote filter. It's looking more like a science project. Cool!
