I love both colours. I am going to have to buy both of them! Maybe my wife would like one.

Its going to be a long 2 weeks !

Went for the 1.75" baffles in the end so hopefully not too quiet !! First thing to come off is those ugly reflectors.

Just heard from Mustang that the seat is on back order so not sure when that is going to turn up ?

Thanks SLV

it cannot be worse than the stock seat! everything else will be a kiss to my butt

Agree the stock seat sucks! Problem is I like the way it looks, looking into getting it re padded with some different foam, we will see how that goes

Give Ed a call at Sick Saddles. I had one of his seats on my Dyna and it was top notch. He doesn't sell Softail seats, but he does custom work and could recover your seat with quality foam and leather.

I've already added, detachable windshield and sissy bar, engine guard, changed grips and pedals, windshield bag, bags, speedo/tacho with all the lights, LEDs and run turn brake module, bling around the speedo, Diamond Ice gas cap, Captain Itch crotch cooler. Still to do pipes/slipons. Then that's it I promise ....
