they said delivery next Friday on your seat project...

Icy beam: what are you riding? A sport glide? There are vendors out there who will fabricate one to fit your bike if you can’t do it yourself. You may have to provide some measurements
‘I am going by what I like; son holds it in place and I step back to look. Tack weld it, etc.

Hi! Yeah, a sport glide. I’ll take measurements, I just wasn’t sure if I needed to make any consideration for the bag quick release bracket, like; would it go between the fender and the bracket or go on the bracket itself somehow... perhaps I’m overthinking it!

Actually, I bought one for our Sport Glides that goes in to the quick release system. I thought about using it as a base for welding on the tall one I like but I cut off all that factory Bagger stuff off. How custom do you want to get? Or do you like the factory look, bags, etc?

You can find it — that powder coated black one on your Sportster would look good!

im 6’1” and hated the feel of the seat, bars and peg configuration. It made me slump/curl my back. When I went with my springer solo seat it lifted me up higher and I am way more comfortable now. I like the pegs where they are, but the bars are next. Priced out some 14-16 inch apes - holy ****! a $2500+ price tag to put on 120 dollar bars (wondering if there’s a thread out there on swapping the bars myself...). But I feel the apes will help me keep my spine straighter.
If I had to do over again, I’d try out the Slim - think there’s another chopper/bobber softail M8 that maybe would’ve brought me closer to what I’m building...
yes; have fun! Harley’s are an std I don’t mind having caught
