Battery tender? Hell you live in Las Vegas. With that kinda weather the battery should never run down. However if you've got to have one; go to Wally World and pick one up for $15. My Son and mine have been working great for a few years and especially this past winter in Nebraska we needed them.

As for a back seat, let's face it with that custom front seat whatever you have you're going to need it custom re-covered. If you don't have the original one, go on e-Bay and find a used a stock pillion that you can have customize.

Oh BTW; welcome to the Softail club and you've certainly got a nice looking ride.

Welcome to the Softail side of the force

Nice looking bike


You might want to look into the "Get back whips" blog on the discussion of using them, some of the biker groups get upset about them.

Thanks for the input. The whips were the first items to be removed as soon as the bike entered my garage.
