Here's a couple of older pics of mine. It's pretty much the same except for a minor exhaust mod and I removed the nitrous:

My girlfriend wants to 2-up on the bar hopper, so this weekend I put the pegs and the seat back on...

Mind sharing some info about the seats in this photo. I am mostly interested in the pillion and how the front mounts to the bike. Looks great!

I love my springer and doubt ill ever buy anything else.
When I look at bikes at shows/rides etc I'm usually the only springer.
I like to stand out from the crowd

Just got the front PM caliper mounted. Now if I could just figure out the wrench I needed for the rear, I'd be set!

Lepera Bare Bones on the front. The pillion is a lo profile for a Heritage Springer. It usually resides on my 03 It was made from 97-99 and came only in blue, red or midnight trim. I took a blue one to a seat guy and had him change the blue trim to black. It's mounted using the Heritage Springer stock mounts.

Awesome pics ! Glad to see so many springers. Walked around a dealer event in Kansas last week while waiting for a new tire, and saw ONE springer in the whole lot of hundreds of bikes !! My '97 is getting sprung this winter !!

YOU JINXED ME, RIP!

Now I either gotta try and find a replacement or remove the left side one which as you know, I wasn't keen on doing. Oh well. Probably will have to go with removal since I don't think I will find a spare in time for a road trip that I am getting ready to take.

For those of you with gloss black forks; what did you use to get the glue off the forks? Were you able to spare the finish from any ill effects?
