I originally bought a Sportster Superlow in May.
That lasted three weeks - fun, but too small.

Traded that in for a Switchback.
That thing was in the shop more than my garage, including most of the last month - it was time to cut it loose.

Saturday I rode home on a new Slim.
Damn... I'm keeping this one!

I love the look of the stock seat, but, if I had to get a replacement, it would have to be the Mustang Wide Tripper (link attached).

I too want to keep the bare look. I've read the Mustang seats are really nice. Any feedback/insight would be great....from anyone. Thanks all!!

I like the Wide Tripper too. that's the one I like best for an aftermarket touring seat. Looks great.

The cold and wind seems to bounce right off my knees and under my helmet(yep, I'm onea those) Bought a Nolan modular. Seems to help with the wind but the lowers sound like a good idea. Thanks.
