Thanks for the replys. The wife got home from the beach. We mulled it over up one side and down the other in the garage. We've decided that the new trunk is in but the wide Mustang backrest pad is going to get sent back.
The pad seems to hook out too much at the top. I'm planning to go with this pad
http://www.mustangseats.com/Product/...tudded-7-x-125
It is a 7" wide x 12.5" tall and will cover up more of the inside bottom of the taller bar and also, I think will let her lean back a bit farther. Our recent metric cruiser had a sissy bar pad kind of like this, which she really liked.
I think it will all work out well. With a drastic change, it takes some getting use to. I'm sure when I pull into Food City, raise the trunk and load four 6 packs of drinks and my weekly lunch items for work, I will get that smurky sideways kind of a grin. Love the pics of those studded out leather softails.
Bad part is now she doesn't like the mini passenger floor boards the PO installed and wants the bigger ones.

I think it looks great and your bike looks great too.
I just installed a fringed trunk on my heritage springer. I love it, I use my bike for grocery shopping now. I like any excuse to take my scooter.

Thanks Joe, Your trunk and bike looks really cool. I'm still kind of new here. I read a lot of your posts and checked out many of your pics before I even joined.
Glad to see another 03 out their still. You've did some nice mods to your ride. Keep it real my friend.

Your bike is looking great, my buddy has an identical 03 heritage he bought new and he lends me when i come to town. It was my inspiration for my bike, I always wanted an 03 as I love the black and silver.

Had 2 now, an Electra Glide and now the Ultra. I kinda fell into them but
always pictured a nice black leather studded Heritage as my first Harley.
