Will do! I hope it arrives by Saturday so I can get it on. Supposed to be nice here in Maine Sunday. Gonna be putting the bike up soon and I'd like to at least get a couple rides in on the seat.

Well, I can say for sure that they will ride shitty if your used to riding around on one of the flop'n pillow seats.

Me I like them and have traveled over 20,000 miles on mine.............

Although, truth be known, I just made an old school seat for mine and covered it with saddle leather this past week. I hope to take some pictures of the bike this weekend when a friend with a good camera can get some free time to take the pictures.

Ha ha--I don't think the stock seat is a pillow, but is sure a totally different feel. You're bike helped convince me to go for it--love the look! Looking forward to seeing the pics of your newly made seat as well.

Got the seat on today, as well as the Heel Raiser pegs. Will post crappy cell phone pix tomorrow. Looking forward to trying them out if it ever stops raining.

I put the brown springer seat on my street bob . . . I like it and it is comfortable to me for the riding I do!
