Love it. Be careful going precisely 88 mph (?) it may jump through time.

I'm now also liking the frame pieces, it's looking great.
As far as the seat, it looks okay to me, but if your looking to go lower I think my stock seat is lower. I know some said the fatboy was lowest slung but my softail standard looks lower in the middle. I believe I have a lower reach seat for shorter legs rather than stock standard.

That is the stock seat you see in the picture, but I took the skin off and removed quite a bit of foam out of the seat to make it lower. Also note the seat is pushed at least 3 inches back as well, which also makes it sit lower and gives the bike a much more stretched feel.
I have a really nice LePera bare-bones seat, and I also have a small ostrich skin seat that fits the bike rather well too. But thus far the original seat appears to be the most comfortable and the best fit for what I’m doing.
I was also thinking about seeing if an old rusty tractor seat would fit on the bike.

Thinking about mounting some red LED"s in the eye pockets of the skull head and making it my tail light. It's just about the right size, just needs some minor fitting.
The second picture shows some machine gun bullets I mounted on the rear fender. They're not live ammo. Picked em up on Ebay.

Thoughts?

Be careful, you are approaching overload.

I gotta admit that when I started reading this thread, I wasn't optimistic. However, I must now admit that I like your style. Well done.

Busy schedule has slowed me down, but I've done a couple new things.

* Attached some studs on the heat shields.
* Got the bullet fender reattached
* Not going to go with the skeleton head tail light. Found a nice old school light I like more, will install soon
* Took off the spittoon headlight and am going with an oversize stock Harley headlight ( not mounted yet).
* first pic shows the original Harley single seat
* Second pic is a modified LePera.
