Well if you want a good laugh I'm the 1st guy at 3:13pm 8/26 of this year on 129slayer.com. I don't have a picture posting account or else I would post it. I know I am the epitome of the monkey/football thing but I don't care. I love this little bike.


Did about 1300 miles in a few days on it in that Cyclone saddle. I was a little beat up but I didn't mind. Don't see the need for any more bike. I'm already big and slow. I like changing that up when I'm on the bike.

I have the mustang wide tripper and went to the progressive 444 shocks with heavy duty springs. I weigh more than 300, and it rides ok. Better than stock, but I had to put some miles on it to realize it. I do not give a crap what anyone says about how I may or may not look on the bike. Is a seat going to make a 48 ride like a */glide? Hell no, but you need to get some seat time in and break in your *ss also. I swear it makes a difference.

Do you have picture of the wide tripper on your bike? I know that the 48 is not going to ride like my other bike.

I went back to my stock seat for now.. its not the most comfortable seat, but I can ride farther than I did with the biltwell and not have my *** hurt like I was riding with out a seat.

Here are a few:


Sorry, crappy cell pic. but it does show the gap between the seat and the tank. Which I love!




This was taken to show off the rack, but it gives you an idea of the diamond weave and the new shocks.

Thanks for the pics... I had been thinking about that seat.. I had a deluxe tripper on my wide glide a few years ago and liked..

I just order a wide tripper with the diamond stitch. Hopefully that solves my seat problem.
