Is looking great man! But then again, all the mods you have made to your bikes have looked amazing. Been following your updates since I had the 2011 Road Glide Custom.

What are the details on the seat. I have done two schedules with MCC to modify my seat and something always comes up that I can't sent the seat and end up losing my deposit. Maybe now, with the additional bike in the stable, I can finally schedule something to send it in. First I need to decide if I go with the initial plan or get more creative.

I still want to keep the stock seat profile, just make it mine... need to see if they would do something that is close to the leather of the side HD bag and if they can make a matching tool bag... I am a sucker for getting everything to match, if possible...

But I digress... looking good. Keep the photos coming.

Thank you. Not much riding position change, just not enough foam in the stock seat to do that but the seat was reshaped to help stop the wanting to slide off the back under hard acceleration and re-foamed with memory foam. The cover is a dark distressed brown leather and looks great on the bike. I just ordered the swing arm bag from Harley and plan on making one like it to match the leather used on the seat which should look pretty sweet I think.
