Your bikes all look great and are my true inspiration. And to those who had their tank emblems removed (to match my '12 Fat Boy), please pm me if you wanted to get rid of them. No damaged goods, please. Ride safe.
It is a little tough to see because it matches the oil tank. From what I have heard, they run just like the Samson's except they run closer to the primary cover. They sit REALLY close to it. As for quality though, I can't compare the two because I don't have any experience with Samsons, but everyone I know that has them absolutely loves them. And they sound great too.
Looks da bomb bud! Now you need to get springer style bags if you get the LUx seat. First Lo I seen with those pipes.
Gratz & thanks for seat info!
If I do get the Lux seat also down the road....PC some fender rails and seat rail black? I always had that vision in mind.

Black would look good but have you thought about having the seat rails and rack PCd like you did your headlight and auxiliary light trim rings??? If they were able to match the brushed chrome on them why not go ahead with that on the rails? The only reason I say this is that if you do them in black, especially denim black, you might not be able to see the detail of them and you could lose sight if the rails, you know what I mean? Whatever you do, I'm sure it would look good.
And thanks for the compliment. Eventually I do think I want to go with the deluxe seat and rack, but I don't know, we will see. But yeah, I am looking at picking up some of the Hog Deluxe springer bags later on this summer and then I may be done for a little while.

Satin chrome on the light rings I am starting to get tired of looking at to be honest....what keeps me from blacking right out is that it's one of a kind. Concerning fender rails, another first to my eyes is PC'd black on a Lo...and lack of contrast keeps the bike looking fresh and clean maybe. Ya man got to love the blank canvas....you can get into trouble and waste some cash or nailing the look that one is after. But it's all worth it.
Funny thing this morning...my ol'lady asked what I am doing with all the bike's spare parts in the basement. I said nothing!
Man....your bike keeps on evolving. The Hogdeluxe bags I think would be the bomb also on her.
Changed my first tire today. If you're on the fence about this, do it. It's easy and I'm already saving money, plus I don't have to wait for the local cycle shop to get it done (I hate waiting).
I need to do some minor modifications to the jig for these 17" wheels, but I got the front done without too much hassle already.
Looks like C&C may have screwed up and sent me the new style of seat for 200, where I ordered the old style. hmmmm has a pillow effect to the back....
Sorry for crappy garage pics, still below freezing here....maybe why it feels hard as a rock even though there is gel pack in it.
Update.............I am keeping the seat!!! Just realized while staring at it in the garage again, I still can opt the solo rack or fender bib. And it does look better than the stock for my tastes.
Thanx to C&C Chuck & Dave for willing to correct the problem asap if I did chose to return it.
