that color looks really good with the bronze heat shields as well. I have the scorched orange and i dont think the bronze fits the styling of the bike. Id really like to do a stainless 2-1 upswept. But, i also wanna put bags on there when i find a pair that complement the bikes squared corners. The ones that come on the new sportglide look really good.

Ok, the Mustang Touring Solo seat is a bust - too big, just does not look right. I'm thinking either Mustang Wide Tripper Solo, or trying my first Saddlemen - Renegate Solo. I've read the write up from FatBob2018 and it looks and sounds good, but I'm so used to Mustang seats... Anyway, has anyone used both by any chance so they can compare?

Got mine from CJ Motorsports as well as he had the best price there for a while. I installed 3" riser extensions on my Fat Bob and everything reached just fine as well. Love the look and feel of the bars now but still want to go a bit higher. These were a nice alternative for now due to the simplicity of the install and they made the ride much more comfortable. Going up to 12" total rise bar/riser combo as soon as I have the bars powder coated.

I will let you know for sure. I should be able to do them soon. Just a matter of finding the time to do it and get the front brakes bled. Was thinking of doing the bleeding myself but am nervous about messing something up or not bleeding it correctly with the ABS.
