This time I decided to enhance the looks of "Ethel" (named her after my mom when she passed away last year).

Added some chrome this time: chrome shifter rod/chrome inner primary cover/Gold "Live to Ride" timer cover/chrome Voltage Regulator cover/Chrome Cylinder Base Cover/Chrome Coil Cover/Chrome Engine/Transmission Interface and Top cover/Chrome Headbolt bridges/Lazy Rider Cycle Bag/HD Speedometer/Tach combo/Brand f**king new (to me) '08 Superglide Solo seat.

I'm really proud of my purchase on the seat ($5.50 on e-bay). Thanks 20Mercedes01.

For those of you who want a rider backrest, the Lazy Rider Cycle Bag comes with a backrest pad and makes you feel like you are riding while sitting in a Lazyboy recliner. It is so comfortable. I now know why all you guys push the seats with backrests.

I know many of you don't like chrome (I love your blacked-out bikes), but I am a chrome ***** (and so is my wife - every time I add a piece, she gives up a piece).

I added pics, so tell me what you think. Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings (she's mine and I'll mod her my way).

 

Looks great!!!!

 

nice bike

 

The bike looks great. I have the same speedo/tach set up, it's really nice. That bag looks like it would be a lot more comfy then the little driver backrest.

 

i like it, was at dealer today and saw a 1971 (I think) with same paint job. Said it was the first big twin sport model.

 

you pulled it off,,,,, very well done sir. looks good

 

smokin deal on the seat!

 

Yeah, I wasn't really looking for that seat, but when I bid $5.50 and I won I figured I could try it out and have it redone if I didn't like it. It sits higher than I was looking for but has turned out to be very comfortable with the bag/backrest. I rode about 3 hours today and felt like I was sitting in a recliner the whole time.
