How soon do you guys think a guy will be able to get some goodies like:
Chrome master cylinder covers
Chrome rear pulley cover
Voltage regulator cover
Maybe even a chrome headlight
bezel or even a replacement?

More exhaust options for FLHC would be nice also. At least Mustang does sell a solo seat,

Waiting patiently for better solo seat options. What’s out there now is ugly, or just isn’t what I need.

Last winter, Le Pera told me they’d have a Bare Bones out for the M8 Softails by February ‘18. Hasn’t happened yet.

I purchased a second seat and shipped it out to Chris at blackbird customs in Canada. He didn’t have the 2018 saddle to mock-up so I had to ship him mine if I wanted a cover. He was great! He even covered some of my shipping costs. You wouldn’t have to send him your saddle if you are just looking to recover yours. He will make them custom to your design. I’m thinking about shaping the spare saddle and shaving down some of the foam to lower it a bit.

I want some soft lowers for winter use. And an eyebrow for my headlight to match my passing lights and turn signals.
