Usually when a word is in red means it was a word that was searched before...or a current word being searched for.....

A couple of things I missed on the spec sheet
Bars: wild one chubby, internal wires, chrome controls, white grips (emgo?) 4” risers
front brake: EBC floating chrome rotor, Lyndall pads, polished spacers & hardware

I too wanted Mustang to make me a white seat and they said no. I did take my stock Street Bob seat to a local upholstery shop and the guy redid my seat in memory foam and vintage looking stitching using material for snow mobile seats. It is amazingly comfortable and he only charged me $100.
I also use a Corbin vintage solo seat when I want something different.

That street bob seat in white looks fantastic....I was kind of surprised that Mustang said no to doing a custom seat....how hard would it have been? Same seat just in white?...oh well...
is that corbin a spring seat? Looks really good....the white against the black really pops...I have to ask though...how hard it it keeping the white floorboards clean?

My upholstery guy wouldn't recover my Mustang seat because they glue the seat material to the foam, so I settled for the Street Bob seat in white. The Corbin is a combination of spring seat base setup with adapters for a full size seat and adapter for grab rail. I have never bothered cleaning the footboard rubbers. I don't think they would be too hard to keep really clean if you stayed up with it.

If you decide to go with a spring solo, I HIGHLY recommend Redtail Leather. Surprising comfy for as thin as it is. At least for my butt.
As a bonus, he will do the leather any way you can imagine. Including tooling. He even welded on custom mounting tabs for me.
