Regarding seats, I'm partial to Corbin. I've had a Saddleman on my sportster, and was a decent seat but not amazing. Since I've been outfitting my bikes with Corbins, I don't think I could change back. The foam is so dense, and truly does conform to your body. Well worth the price and wait.
I wanted to give a huge shout out to @blackmill and their 1-piece license relocation bracket and kit. I originally bought from another vendor who has the 2-piece design. Installed it first but did not like how flimsy it felt. The Blackmill version is 4130 Chromoly steel vs the other design that appears to be simple cold steel. For both I planned on using the Custom Dynamics LED license plate bracket.
The Blackwell kit includes black frame to fender bolts for stock or quick disconnects. It also includes those pesky cable ties with hole mounts since you need to cut the stock ones. Fit and finish were perfect and very stout. Wiring was easy for the turn signal using a safety pin to pop out the pins from the connector (YouTube has several videos of how to).
i took the fender and black mounting struts off as one assembly. The LED light was crimped onto the stock connector. All-in-all a 2.5 hour job with a helper son.
After waiting 2 months, my Leather Pros saddle bags finally arrived yesterday. They look pretty small but they sure do have plenty of room. I can fit my full face helmet in them and still have room for other items. They look good on my bike as well. Overall I'm happy and the wait was well worth it. It will be nice not to have to wear my backpack everywhere I go to carry my belongings.

I have the same setup and completely agree. I just wish Blackmill made more parts. The custom dynamics plate cover looks cheap by comparison and is covering up that beauty.

I agree. I may take off the Custom Dynamic Plate with the LED light off as I never drive at night. The Blackmill plate without a plate frame looks beefy and cool in it's raw form for sure! I know it might push the the price on the Blackmill Frame, but if they included the replacement turn signal standoff, that would be the Unicorn Kit. I have a box of standoffs I bought on Ebay that were supposedly HD and the correct numbers 69438-06 (chrome) and 69933-08 (black), only to find out they were not. Finally had the parts guy at Oakland Harley help my out (Great guys over there by the way) and he had it in stock!
