My sissy bar comes on and off in 30 seconds and only use when I go 2up with the wife or kids.
Not yet that I've seen. Maybe in 2014. The bowman is a pain in the a$$ to get on/off... Mostly concerned about scratching the fender in the process.

But hands down its a more comfortable seat.
Good to hear thanks

Harley has had the detachable stuff for the Slim/Blackline for a while now. I bought the parts with my Blackline in April 2012.

Did you have to re-locate your lights and/or license plate bracket for the install?

Nope, just trimmed a little corner off of the sissy bar bracket. Took about 2 minutes with and angle grinder in my garage.

They are highway pegs that mount under the floorboards and flip out. I bought them here:

Although they do cause you to drag earlier as you lose an inch of clearance... it's not too bad.

Ditto on those wheels! They're perfect with your bike.

I do like that Mustang seat you have with the removable backrest. As far as the rack and sissy bar, I can see where the clean/uncluttered look would be great, but where you gonna stick your trip bag?

24v, If it's not too much trouble, would you mind posting a closer shot of the detachable sissy bar so we can see the corner where you had to grind to mount without moving the turn signals. TIA
