Default more winter mods

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).

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.

Default Bargain 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.
