Preciate it fellas to Hawg and Mike, yeah I have 4 disc in lower back that are screwed and from pushing myself and going so long w/ it messed up, the vertebrae are now damaged....as in a simple laminectomy w/ a 3 month recovery time turned into being sliced open pretty good and them removing bone fragments and scar tissue w/ a 1 yr to complete recovery and a future sugery in about 5 yrs. I felt pretty good riding it from the dealer which is about a 30 min ride so I'm gonna stick with that for now and slowly push it longer. Thanks for the input on the seats and back rests. I remember seeing a thread on rebuilt seats a while ago so I'm going to do some searching and see if I can find it again.

WElcome and link to shop
Picked up a '12 Road King in Vivid Black Monday! I had a deposit on a RKC but backed out after doing some more research and looking at funds. This one already has a chrome fork kit and it has the profile laced spoke wheels. Got a decent deal so I'm happy! I have to say, to all those that told me I wouldn't regret getting rid of the Deluxe....you're absolutely right. The seat and suspension is so much better on the RK! I'm technically not supposed to be riding yet according to my back surgeon but I can do short rides for the next motnh or two. I'm def going to be putting 16" Wild1's for lower back comfort and have a few other things in mind down the road such as exhaust, a/c, and tune. Anyone know of a good place to get a seat modified with the gel pad and such? My surgeon rides and he says that will help me alot. I'm done babbling for now but I can officially say I'm back on 2 and can enjoy the freedom again!
Drop him a line and tell him Wayne told you to look him up. You won't be disappointed

Thanks Shark...I'll def hit him up and see if I can get some pics of his work. Maybe have him do a nice solo for me. Yeah I'm Las Vegas now until the medical retirement goes through and hopefully I'll be moving back to God's Country by this time next year!
