Default Rocker c with Danny Gray

Here are some pics of my bike --finally done! The bike is lowered using the harley lowering bolts and I installed a Danny Gray. I also have saddle bags which are not in the pics-- The saddle bag hardware , was powder coated, and is also used to mount my license plate ( yes I can quick disconnect and put the plate on the swing arm in a vertical position, but I never do).

looks awesome, great pics.

quick questions. how exactly does it mount, i can't quite tell? do you think i would be able to use the frame caps that are used for the standard fxcw set up with this seat? do you think the touring strut system will work with this seat?

thanks

when you lower the bike, does it close the fender gap some? If not, what is it lowering? Sorry, I'm new around here.

how is the sitting position with that seat? Do you sit "in" the bike more? By the way that bracket thats mounted from the top of the swing arm to just over the oil tank....is that for the saddle bags?

The seat was aroun 330 and it is a much better position. You sit in not on.
lowering it with harley bolts takes teh rear down 2 inches and yes it closed the gap!
The danny gray screws into the front hole on each side of the bike. it has a bracket that comes down from teh seat and lines up with teh front hole. The strut system should work. The saddle bag hardware which screws into those holes woked fine. the bracket off teh seat is thin and it doesnt cause any problems going thru the saddle bag hardware and the seat into teh frame.

I was hoping to see a close-up of how the license plate was mounted. I already have the saddle bags on mine and looking an alternative for the license plate.
