Hmmm...perhaps. I'll have to give that some thought. Thanks!

Wow, I missed this so far. Great build, looks amazing so far. Your work so far is flawless,

Inspires me as I just bought my first bike (a 2012 48) and I'm going to tear it apart when it comes home from the dealer!

If I had those plans I would have bought a used bike...

I really like that tinted leather, haven't seen quite that look on a Harley seat before. I ride 2 up enough that I wouldn't want a single, and don't see any duals at that manufacturer's website that looks remotely as comfortable as the plain black one I have. Now there's something else I'll be looking for, darn it. Looks like that color will go well with your ride. Mine, too...

Well, thanks Sticky. The work is far from flawless. But I'm generally pleased with the way it's turning out so far. Good luck with whatever you decide to do to yours. It's a lot of fun just making it uniquely your own.

Ya, I thought it was kinda unique. And it seems very well made. It took me a long time reading and looking and comparing all the various seat options out there. And I think this is going to fit the final look nicely. Good luck with your search.

I understand. I was just a bit surprised you kept the stock seat and pad containing the fact you are giving your Nighty and nasty face lift.

Trust me, I don't like the 2-up look for this bike any more than you do. But given my requirements, limitations and constraints, this set up seems about optimum. I would love to just hardtail the damn thing and be done with it.
