Default New seat installed

I purchased a custom Mustang Vintage Super Solo Seat through the forum classifieds and installed it over the weekend, but didn't get a chance to test it out until today. The original owner had some work done to it by Mr. Ed's Moto Custom Seats. This was my first time riding with a backrest and I can't believe how comfortable it is! I'm going to look into purchasing a matching passenger seat and backrest for when the Mrs. wants to ride, but 'til them, I'm gonna enjoy riding solo. Here are some pictures of the bike cleaned up with the seat installed:

Seat looks great on there! I agree about how comfy a backrest is.

Sweet ride! Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks! It's a blast to ride. Unfortunately the weather forecast calls for rain over the next few days... Perfect time for installing additional parts!

U can't go wrong with these guards and the installation was easy. I ordered mine from http://www.boardtrackerharleyonline.com/
