I got my Slim S where I want it for now. I thought I might share some pictures.
Next Spring I'll add a windshield and some sort of luggage rack, but this configuration will be fine for a while.
The bike has turned out to be a great ride that fits perfectly with my riding style. 80% around town and 20% trips within 4 hours of home. So far about 2200 miles in two months, and it seems to be getting better and better.
A Corbin-Gentry police seat on a post/pogo setup from V-Twin Manufacturing. The kit needed some minor modification to make it work with the Mother Road Customs frame cover (also modified.)
I also bought a small leather bag, cut the back out, and riveted it over the ECM cover. At some point I'll get a lithium/ion battery so I can move the ECM under the seat. Until then, at least the cover has a functional look. It does have a smaller pocket in the front that is usable for glasses and other small stuff.
HD smooth AC cover. Powder coated gloss black. A SE/K&N reusable filter underneath.
Rush slip-ons. Look like stock except the no lonely cut instead of slash down. They sound great. Deep low and a bit loud.
4-1/2" round mirrors.
3500 lumen LED plug-in headlight bulb.
Custom Dynamics Ringz turn signals. White running lights, yellow when flashing. Really nice product. They look stock when off except the smoked lenses.
Custom Dynamics LED clusters for Run/Turn/BrKe. Also smoked lenses.
I Like the Small bag over the ECM cover. Neat Idea.
I can't wait to see a post seat with a flat ECM cover like I made. I will watch this space.
I understand you have great legroom with the post seat.
Comparing my seat it looks like you are MUCH farther forward and higher when seated.
I will try to get someone to take a photo of me in riding position, the bars are the perfect reach for me. It would be great to compare our bikes seating position with a rider on board.
