Default My first bike, and what a bike it is!

So after getting my permit end 2013 at the young age of 37, and contemplating over the last 2 years whether buying a 103 inch HD as my first bike was insane or not, I finally said "f*#k it" and bought myself a nice little bday gift... And I must say, the best decision EVER! Need to save for some more mods (i now got the V&H big radius pipes, Roland Sands clarity filter, black mirrors and levers, black daymaker and smoked signals - the side mounted plate was ordered but is being installed in a week cause the dealer 'forgot' to do this prior to delivery... ) , but thought I would already share it with you fellow Softail fans...

thanks!

Any suggestions on a good looking and comfortable solo seat is welcome... Not fond of the HD ones at the dealer...

Congrats on the new ride!
Good looks and comfort are mutually exclusive terms when it comes to seats. You will be better off goi g with comfort, IMHO.

Many Bo owners here on HDF appreciate Danny Gray seats...
Haven't tried one myself but seems it could match your requirements...
I'm happy enough with my custom made Thunderbike seat...
