Don’t know, I sold the stock seat. I got the untrimmed shroud and cut the opening to fit my seat.

so you can make it work with any seat by trimming? That’s been my hesitation with a stretched tank is getting stuck with only a few seat options. I love my cvo and russel. If I can make a shroud work with both I’m in. Which brand shroud do you have?

Competition Series Stretched Tank Shroud from Bad Dad is the one I used,Good people. I called and talked to them and told them what I had for a seat and they said it should work, it came out good.

Project completed today. Bad dad shrouds installed. I ordered some of that clear protective film I'm going to install on the sides near the seats to prevent any issues.

Your bike looks really good. I am also buying a number of Baddad items for my '06 Ultra Classic. Going with the rear summit kit/ 21 inch wrap front fender. Hope the side covers work well with the Bagger Brothers 7.2 gal tank I bought. Figured the extra capacity will be nice. How did the film turn out on the side of the tank? Working well?

It will work out well. The stretch tank has extra capacity. All the new bikes are 6 gal. So figure they will not be stopping early for me. Plus .. when I put the 124" in there .. will not have to worry about burning a little extra.

Your right tho. Can only ride so long before need a little stretch/ food/ P break.

Thanks. I just put the film on the parts where my legs would rub on the tank and the tops of the side covers. So far so good.

I just got the BB tank not too long ago it’s waiting to get painted. What kind of set up for a seat do you have.
