Thanks. Harley has to earn my business. I can't believe they would market such a shoddy product. It rattles my confidence in them.

I have a Saddlemen Explorer seat. It fits alright but I'm not a big fan of the look of the pillion. It is however, very comfy.

Ohey that's the seat I plan on getting. The buttons don't get in the way at all do they?
I think it's one of the best looking aftermarket seats for the Fat Boy, atm.

The buttons aren't noticeable to sit on. I'm apprehensive that they might collect water if I park in the rain, but I haven't parked in the rain yet so I don't know.

Good leather protector keeps water out
contact manufacturer and ask if they make a rain cover
there might be a universal fit available for two up seats too worth a try

Picked the SG up in May this year not a lot of K's on it yet but the few I've done have been enjoyable and an excellent two up tourer .

Sport Glide with lowers
Spoke with fjoh who walked me thru what it took to put lowers on the Sport Glide. A little time consuming and the use of a dremel helps, I was able to mount the lower clamp using a one inch connector and did not have to drill another hole. Lowers sit a little different then how they were designed. Sits behind the lower bar instead of on it, actually it maybe better if the bike goes over it will land on the bar with out the lowers hitting. Have not taken the bike out yet and know it's not for everyone , I thought the lowers may have looked to big, but now think th




ey look fine.

What parts are required to do this mod? I wanna know which guard to get and if you need any attaching hardware or anything like that.
