I like the seat. Looks good. I would suggest swapping the phootball phor a round cover though. Maybe the Nostalgic one, but then again I'm kinda partial to the round one

Im not really big on the seat, it looks to high. I think it would look better if you had a braket that followed the frame.

get rid of the stock shocks!... and get a pair of418 progressives!... they fit the minimalist design of the seat better than the bulky stock onesdo... check out basic's streetbob here on the forum and you'll see what i mean

OK, black 11" 412's are already on order...haven't found anything to lower the front yet...suggestions: part number??

The seat is a LaRosa purchased from ebay...it's fairly comfortable...the padding is not really an issue since the bikes shocks do a good job..the real issue is getting used to being in one position. you can't really move around alot like on a stock seat..also, if you purchase a solo, be sure to get one the is turned up in the back to keep you on the bike when accelerating hard...longest i've ridden with this seat is around 150 miles an my but was sore but not real bad....

the bar are 16" apes purchased from my local dealer for $59 bucks, don't know the brand but I absolutly love the apes...if you do apes and you on the fence about size, go 16" and you won't be sorry....
