Default Free mods are the best

I noticed something about my huge comfortable seat (HD Tallboy). It over hangs the bike. Another thing I hated was carrying my garage door remote in my pocket. So I got this bright idea (we will see how long it lasts). I sticky taped some Velcro to the bottom of my seat and put the remote in reach so that all I have to do to get in the garage is reach down and push the button. I also tied it to the frame in case the velcro or tape fails. Its really not noticable unless you know what you are looking for. I plan to also paint the remote black.
