Added a set of Daymakers on my 2005 Deluxe. WOW what a difference ! This is a highly recommended modification for older bikes.

Finished my bracket for my seat rail install on my 1999FLSTC. Used a factory solo seat from a 95, springer rail and made my own mounts. I purchased the seat rail pad from JMEI and it was a bolt on part. I think it came out pretty good personally and definitely made a difference on the lower back.

Heres a few pics of the mounts I made. I make knives on weekends so I had plenty of D2 steel to use. Just made some 3" long brackets, 2" bolt spacers and used factory bolting locations so it can be removed easily.


I added the factory bags and seat rail pad after install. The swingarm bag just wasn't big enough for my longer trips.
