Looks great, and you've convinced me the Mustang Vintage will look great despite not having the matching studs. I have one on my Sportster and am interested in replacing the stock seat with a quality one. One question, with the risers did you swap out any cables?

Very nice.
Maybe lose the backrest when you take it out for some "real" pics.

Thanks for the comments guys

I was planning on going to black fat spoke wheels in the same size to maintain the Heritage look but I think I’m ok with the stock ones with the blacked out hub cap or “dog bowl”

Yippee I saved some $$$ which makes for a nice change .....

Mustang seat works well for me

As others have said a 3.5 inch riser install can be done with existing cables. The brake cable has plenty of slack but the clutch is snug even after some rerouting of the cable- probably close to its limit but not bad

Your the one that has to look and stare at her man. As long as your happy with her and brings a smile to your face that's all that matters

Would whitewalls be overkill?
