Default Rocker Bobber + Wanted to introduce myself

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been reading the forum for quite some time and got great infos from it.
Some info about myself: I am a german exchange pilot with the US Air Force at Sheppard AFB, Tx in Wichita Falls, Tx and teach future fighter pilots flying.

I have been living in Texas for almost 8 years now and I love it. I ride all year round.

My latest add on was a bobber seat on my Rocker last weekend and I was curious what you guys would think.
I try to attach two pictures. Not quite sure though it will work though.

cheers

Michael

Seat looks good. Is it a kit that someone sells or did you fab it yourself?

Thanks a lot everybody. No the seat is not a kit. it is a laRosa seat that i found on EBAy for 50 bucks and i thought i would try out if i could make it fit. Not too much money if it would not work. And surprisingly it worked quite easy. Bought a set of 3 inch springs and a few washers and invested about 2 hours and this is the result.
I actually wanted a black rocker but thanks to Mike i bought a red rocker because i learned from him that red ones are faster. Just kidding!!!!

that color seat looks sweet on there. welcome to the madness bro. give us some profile pictures of the bike so we can get a better look at her.

by the way, does the seat put you lower in the bike or is it pretty much the same riding position as the stock seat?

That seat is exactly what I'm looking for, do you know what style LaRosa seat it is? I really did not want to spend $800 on the Heartland seat. Thanks
