Thank You! its been a work in progress and fun to do with my sons! You get used to either stepping over them, or walking all the way around them haha!

the seat is actually a factory solo seat from HD and I took the cover off and cut the foam down to the shape that I liked and then had Old Man Reyes upholster it.... I love the way the stitching came out. previously I had him wrap it in dark leather, and the sun tore it up cause I didn't maintain it.... and there were a few trips that my wife and I went on where we were pounded with rain.

Aren't they always a work in progress ! Lucky , sometimes I wish we would have had kids , would be nice to spread the knowledge and passion along . I've got the Mustang day trip seat , love it , accept for the hump at the rear . We have a reupholster here as well that I'm going to take it to and see if he can fix it up and put some of that diamond stitching on it as well .

Looks awesome !

Right on, mine has a little hump in the rear, more of a bump, but it helps from me sliding all the way back to the fender haha

Sweet bike! I'd love a newer one, but I just got my black stage 1 2014 king. Runs great. Anyways, I got haters on mine. How you like yours? Mine is actually tame unless ya crank on it and it sounds gooood. Lol. Hoping to decat or put catless aftermarket header on very soon. Couple weeks maybe. Should get a lil more volume and less heat. Enjoy!
Also, how tall of windscreen came on your bike? I'm gonna get one of those too.
