Bikes looking good dude... those keystones are gona look sick on there.
For looks wise My choice for the seat wud be the TT... seen em on a few bikes in different colors n it jus looks awesum for me. Duno abt comfortwise tho cos ive never actually sat on 1. All the best bro
West eagle is going to be uncomfortable in the beginning ..
Yeah, but you get adjusted to it after about the third or fourth ride and it's fine. Even the first ride after storing the bike for the winter. My first long ride this season was only 65 miles and after I got off, I couldn't feel my junk for almost 10 minutes.
more pics. the ends of the struts still need to be patined......and some new bars i'm fittin'. let me know what you think about the bars. i'm diggin them and may go back to mid controls.
Shes looking sick b!definitely feeling the keystones,i was debating on getting those but went with the trackers.looks like your ready to help me with mine.
I like the TT for its retro look. The west eagle will keep you in the seat better though.
I don't blame you for the excess newspaper...knowing myself and how cautious I am, I prob would have thrown a tarp on top of the newspaper as well.
well i've seen first hand what paint fumes can do to **** close by if aint covered. not trying to repaint **** i was planning on repainting in the 1st place if ya know what i mean. got plenty to do!

thanks dub! say the words and i'll be by with the sawzaw and the grinder and we'll get er done!
yeah.. MichaelMartin is right.. you get used to the roughness of those seats real quick... in fact.. look at my signature pic... I removed the springs from my seat.. ok brothas ... back to my Double Bastard Ale.. hell yeah!!
Lick's uses the West Eagle seat for their kit. I bought a WE off of Ebay for about $100 and just bought a mount from Drag...
yeah i don't even know how lick's can sell it for that price when you can get the seat for a 100$ and seat h/w for 50-60$? i don't get it.

i noticed that....you mentioned in a thread a while back you needed a break from the struts. i kinda decided to leave the rigid for a real rigid should i own one some day, some day! i like the brat style look man, slammed fender w/ the shox. those dudes in japan know how to rock a harley, they have an awesome scene over there. totally into that style right now. in time i think i'm gonna chop the struts back as far as you did and swingarm mount the fender with some round bar fender struts. maybe next winter. damn i'm trying not to drink during the week and you really made me want one...ok sierra anniversary for me!
I had taken the original cover off of my West Eagle seat, I bought it used and it was a red metal flake. I did add a real thin extra layer of carpet padding for a little more cushion, but not much, and then I wrapped it in leather from the back of an old jacket and hard mounted it with no springs. Most people give me the hairy eyeball after they sit on my bike and say "I dunno how you ride that thing". Eh, to me, it's all I know. And now that I put 12" Street Glide shocks on, it's not even an issue.
