Congrats on the new scoot! I agree with the other posters, give the stock seat a chance, at least until first service before ripping it off. I hated mine for the first few miles but now I really like it.
I assume this will be a work in progress, lets see some pics as the parts and paint go on.
congrats dude. prepare yourself for the "ugly bike" comments you get here. just remember they are all just jealous. I think you should give the stock seat a chance, i find it to be really comfortable even compared to mustangs.
new bars on the other hand should be in top of your list as the stock ones are plain miserable.
Ditto! Congratulations!
And I really like MY stock seat too. No inclinations to change it out.
Well, what do you think so far? I just rode mine from the TX Panhandle to N. Iowa, 825 miles - purred like a kitten; never missed a beat, and averaged 45 MPH.
Congrats on the new bike. Keep the other bike. It's nice having the option of riding 2 different ones, one when the wife is along and one for solo trips.
Congrats.Like to hear your thoughts after you have spent some time on the new frame.
Stock mirrors and seats are crap.
You just bought H-Ds best bike.
Enjoy.
