Your wife is right, kinda fugly. Sorry!

If you like the color send 'em that passenger backrest & match it up. You're the only one that has to be happy with it.

I think it looks good with the red.

BTW, What did you think of the Dragon? I'm going the end of this week.

Nobody will steal that seat. :icon_laugh:

P.S. I hope you find work soon.

It's just "odd" enough to be kinda cool!! As long as you like it.

My dad once told, if have nothing good to say, say nothing at all. Good advise for now.

Obviously you like the seat or you wouldn't have done it, but you really ought to match up the pillion back rest. Someone mentioned that above. It's your baby, it's your call.....but coordination is a good thing.

Amen!!!!

Got laid off!!! That sucks.

Your taking it well.

Nice seat.

Gonna match the backrest. Its the same color as pinstriping and tank emblem , it is an ugly color. Black is just to dang hot, and I've never been a sheep. Maybe brown tassels and a tan half naked babe on the back would make it look better.

Dragon tail was a good ride, but I wouldn't go far just to ride it. That area has lots of good rides, take the smaller roads to get there and you can be riding curves all day.

I like the idea of the tan half naked babe on the back. That would take the eyes away from the seat. If the tan babe was wearing the tassels that would be even better. :icon_omg:

sorry don't agree, not when someone goes actively looking for feedback and says that his wife already thinks it's ugly and he's looking for support

just remember this:


UGLY is UGLY, but even ugly can be attractive enough to someone

If you have nothing good to say about some one then we must be talking about Hillary Clinton! Hehehe

myking 04-25-2012 04:11 PM

Wasn't looking for feedback or support. That's just in your own mind. Dont give a crap what others think, otherwise I would have gone with black like most people.

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. It's a "different" color, but I don't think it looks bad on the bike. Now tassels of any color suck, but a tan half naked babe on the back might make it look better........Let us know what your wife has to say about that...........:icon_beerchug:
