The seat is more comfortable than it looks because the seat pan is formed very well. I still have the stock seat with the hardware still attached so I can swap out in a couple minutes. The custom seat is for town cruising and shorter day trips....and just for the "cool" factor!

The bike has an XiED and V&H FuelPak installed. I input the map and it runs VERY well. Odd thing, I had a little bit of decel popping with the Rush 1.75" slips-ons, but with these, nothing. The torque and sound are impressive. I also have the 2.0" and 2.5" baffles "just in case".

Ya know, I think you're right! I'm not sure how to go about doing that though. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Brett....

I'll take the bag off tonight and post a few close ups for you. I think they made a big difference in the back end. I hated the plastic lower guard, but I wanted to have something there.

Here you go, Brett! Sorry for the delay........

I think the guards really dress up the back end. The upper matches the flow of the fender and the slots match the signature of the bike. For the lower, I think it looks much better than the cheap plastic guard that came with it.
