[/QUOTE] Looks good. Any closes up of the seat detail? Regarding the pipes, looks good. Local dealer is installing some pipes on a Lo like that now and it hasn't even been sold yet. I'm waiting for it to hit the showroom floor since they've also powder coated the handlebars, forks, and instrument panel as well as installed the new speedo/tach combo.[/QUOTE]

TNB - The seat is a custom HD sidekick with the 3 skulls and red stitching. Thanks again JIMSFBL.
You can see the various options here: www.h-d.com/customseat

I am wanting to PC several items on my bike as well. The problem is I am getting a couple of good riding days per week now in Kentucky and I don't know if I want it out of commission that long.

Here they told me powder coat turn around is about four days. We laughed about waiting until winter here, then I mentioned summers would be better here since I could always put a coat or jacket on in the winter. Summers here get 120F+ and it very rarely snows here.

Also, thanks for the link. I'll check it out when I get to a computer. iPad doesn't have a flash player.

JIM, wheels look great man! In a few days I'm gonna put up pics of alot of my bolt heads painted with Rustoleum spray bed coating. I think it would give you those last few easy touches your bike needs IMO.

Sorry. Sometimes I don't get across what I mean when I write on here. I meant I was going to leave the sissy bar on the bike when I ride solo and have the rider seat off. I was just going to remove the soft back pad from the sissy bar. Anyone think that will look good with that type of sissy bar? (might have to look back a little to see the sissy bar on Jasonshukovsky's bike) (Pg. 142 I think)
