Default New Seat

What a difference! Instead of trying to remove all the tourpak bracketry that is so integrated into the bike, I found a low profile tour pak that I will mount in the original King tour pack's place. no more need for a sissy bar.




LaPera Silhouette 2 up.

Going to look good, slim lining makes a bagger cleaner, passenger isn't going to be happy on a long ride but tell them how good they look on the back to deflect the issue.

Yeah, I think the other seat will go back on for long hauls, but this will do nicely for around town stuff.

Nice looking seat. Really transforms the bike. I picked up an old man 94 tour glide and have been lookin foot seat ideas. Are you going to remove the tour pack bracket and expose the rear fender? I looked into removing it and it looks to be quite the process.

I was originally looking to put a sissy bar for the wife but all that tour pack stuff is so integrated, you'd almost have to redo the back end of the bike. I found this instead. Adds a modern touch, and solves the sissy bar issue.

That’s a nice looking tour pack. Way better than what I took off!

Let us know how it holds up after some miles. Looks sharp on the bike.
