Just bought a new (to me) seat on eBay, a Mustang Fastback. I think it completes the cafe' look I'm after on my bike, more of a classic British style. I also added a stripe on the rear fender to match the one on the tank, replaced the chrome chain guard with a black one, repainted the rocker boxes, painted the fender struts "cast aluminum" and installed them with new chrome hardware for contrast.

 

Fresh picture...

 

Man, the bike looks great. But I have to laugh at your signature. On a thread with so many updated pics, and a sig of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it:".. LOL Classic.

 

Ha ha...yeah, I guess I should be riding a stock bike with that sig. What I really mean, is "if it ain't broke, don't break it".

 

The bike is now "decaffinated"... full circle.

 

Shorter rear shocks, original stock solo seat...

 

Took it a few more steps back to stock...

 

Dropped my old camera and broke it. Finally bought a new one and took this pic last weekend - a little different look...

 

One more new picture...the old XLX turned 30 this year.

 

Latest look - original tank, new Progressive rear shocks, and a customized stock H-D seat.
