It is the RSD Cafe seat (manufactured by Mustang). I believe it is lower and slightly moved back than the original stock posistion (I had a modified seat prior to the RSD)

Don't know where you looked, but I got my bars for $100.

Wildthang, love everything you've done, and am going same direction on my iron 883....Licks bags, bobcat, rsd seat and now the clip ons. (sorry, but I've been stalking your bike since way back! ) just wondering how the bobcats are doing in the loudness department? I want the deep bass rumble they make, but worry they might be too loud....I really don't want to bother anyone, including the cops. So, if I keep it light on the throttle, can I remain civil?

That is what makes the Bocats so cool on this bike...when you start the bike it instanly commands respect with its distinctive low rumble unlike any other pipe (believe me....I research numerous and numerous pipes...listen to so many pipes on You Tube I thought they were going to permantly imprint on my brain). However, the noise leve itself is relatively of low volume...until you crank the throttle...then they bark impressively.

Nice, if I weren't 6'2" and prone to a sore lower back from being doubled over like that...I'd be all about some clip-ons myself. Love the look and ride...for short periods. Looks awesome man.
