Nice bike! I'm looking for seats... what is that shiny object on the left side of the seat in the 3rd pic? Is that just a company logo or something? Is it more comfortable than the stock one?

that is a key lock. the seat is locked to the bike. you have to unlock it to remove it

The shiney dot you see on the seat is the lock. It's how you remove the Corbin seats.

Ahh, okay. I was hoping it was some sort of helmet lock or something. Sometimes I'd like to ditch my helmet instead of carrying it around, and haven't found something I like. How comfortable is the seat compared to stock?

Did you have the Dirby and timer covers powder coated too. If not could you tell me where you got them?

actually the timer cove is a screamin' eagle one, about $5 from HD. The inspection and derby covers are from the '07 roadsters. I know they are stock on the 883 roadster, not sure about the 1200. I think they are because the primary and crankcase covers are all black. visit the dealer, they will let you know. I can't find the part numbers at this time.
