Now I remembered that it actually reminds me of the indian scout custom by tank machine which I like a lot.

Actually, the springer seat is comfortable! I mean, I’m sure the cop one is even better, but that little spring seat is way more comfortable than the stock one. Maybe it forces me upright more.

rbouillion - above are pics of the seat — if you want it I’ll mail it to u. You’d have to tie the two back together somehow, but I’m sure you can make it work while you’re doing a custom recover of yours.

Jihoo that Indian is pretty sick. I think it would’ve been easier and cheaper if I started with another model but I’m enjoying customizing mine. I’m doing the sissy bar now - going after this look:

That second bike is gorgeous, isn’t it?
Priced out some 14-16 inch apes for the sport glide - 2300+! To have it done. I don’t know why I can’t do this surgery myself - damn bars only cost $110

Thanks and I'll look for the opportunity to pass it on.

This will keep me riding while I send my original to Mean City Cycles for custom work.

Someone said it looked too much like the Breakout - that hideous mistake.... I’m welding a sissy bar on it now - tall old school one. Will post when done
Can't wait to see it! I do not have any skills like that so I am going to commission one, but I do not know the best way to measure/fit one on. If anyone does, that would be real helpful!
