I think this will be my next modification to my '08 Street Bob/'59 FLH clone. I want white with a skirt that has baubles and trinkets on it.

It's an older thread, but WKNDS is still very active. He has a good thread somewhere describing the pogo setup.

There are more recent posts on hiding the ECM too. The ECM relocation really completes a pogo setup, but requires some fender work. I'll wIt until the bike needs paint in a few years.

I like how it turned out! The ECM relocation is really nice. I would love to learn a bit more on that. I thought of going with the smaller lithium battery and use the extra space for the relocation. How did you do it?

I put the ECM in the compartment with the BCM. I am using a
Lithim battery & might could have kept it in the battery compartment
but it would've been kind of tight.

I went a different direction with the Crossbones seat kit and adapted a police seat. Used a "25" seat then switched to the police seat. Very comfortable. Also used 2-1/2" springs - they are sprung a tad softer.

Thanks for the picture.

The ECU (and Power Commander V - PCV) that my bike has are much larger than the ECM on your bike. I suppose I could take a better look to see if I could find space for them in front of the splash guard like you have, but I suspect they will not fit there without some real creativity. I have the deep ECU tray on my bike, so it can not be seen from the side, and the PCV is on top of the lowered fuse block. So I have most everything mounted in such a way as to be pretty flush with the frame, but it is not as clean as your frame cover pics. I would love to have a flat, black or chrome frame cover that shows "nothing but spring" under the seat. I'm pretty close, but not quite there.

Ride safe!

How do you like those oldschool tread pattern on your Softail? How do they handle? Were there any changes in the riding/handling characteristics when you put them on?

My -25 is on it’s 3rd Bike now. Started out on my 05 Springer Classic, then on my Ural and now on my Indian. It’s a great seat!
