Default Got the "Happy Butt" goin on now!

Riddin high (literally) and in comfort with my Buddy seat that I bought on Ebay.

Sit pretty high (even at 6' 4" I can barley sit flat footed) but got use to it pretty quick. I have bad knees and it helps to keep them from getting sore.

My *** is about as comfortable as I could ask for. I really like the seat, I believe it's off of an early Shovel and is in great shape. Had one on my 1st Harley (Duo-Glide) and this is just as comfortable as I remember that 1st one being.

Now if you want an even better ride, to go along with the seat, get the Shotgun Shock air suspension system.

You're gonna have to change your screen name now. Damn, that's like sitting on your gas tank high, LOL. Yeah, that looks to be off a 60's model. Good for you and glad it's working out. Just don't forget to duck when going under low bridges.

Enjoy!

A lot guys steal ideas from others in this forum (me included) but I'm betting I don't have to worry about anybody stealing this one from me.

So far, no problems but I haven't ridden more than 100 miles or so without stopping. Thinking about putting a set of buckhorns on it though.
