I like to throw it on for the solo look & feel from the road sofa. I like having options! Bought mine off a guy here from California for 2 bills. He said it was most comf. he ever had and he as right, cept my Road Sofa for long trips & g/f rides.
p.s...you should look hard at the chopped engine guard. Would go nice on your bike IMHO!
yes Galfer 13” wave rotors.

funny you mentioned the chopped engine guard I just installed it this weekend.


i bought the bike with the solo seat on it , yes I agree very comfortable. Been looking into the Road Sofa LS for 2 up riding .

I have the chopped guard, and the solo as well. Great minds and all that!
I have had a few sets of the oversized Galfers, now, on dirt bikes and sport bikes. I am a fan. I have not seen the caliper bracket for the oversized HD rotors, I need to check that out.
Well done, sir!

That green color is very unusual tho & looks good on the Special. You got some tasteful mods...kinda think like me. I added a bunch of cosmetics mostly Arlen Ness, some Kuryakin, as well as performance stuff. I WILL get some pics on here after the buffing's complete.
