0302,

I got my round aircleaner right from the dealer, it came off a 2013 Fatbob I saw on the sales floor. They had to order it but it was about 50 bucks plus the center bolt cost, I used an Arlin Ness big sucker behind it, perfect fit. The whole thing was less than 200..

looks like Sprung Daves who posted earlier on your thread...

DAMN IT!!! After looking your seat over the past few days it has me thinking. The bummer is I just got all my seats redone and now I am thinking of that seat set up. Question, do they have anything that can cover all that crap that is exposed when running one of these seats? Some kind of cover? I love the seat but no too sure I would like all that other stuff under the seat so open and exposed.

Tbonetony06, the La Rosa seat bracket covers the wires, battery and has a leather cover for the ECU.

How comfy is that seat? Also how tall are you?

I'm 5'7" and with the original seat was up on the ***** of my feet. With the new seat, I'm flat footed...maybe because the la rosa seat is not as wide. The hairpin springs are 3" springs. The seat is very comfortable and cups the butt. It is adjustable so I was able to slide it forward...I really like the setup.
