Default Seat Rail.
Has anyone tried to put one of those Ebay seat rails on an 08 or newer? If so, what mods did you have to make? I want one on my 09

I just put one on a 2011 RKC today. Got it from Robert at http://www.blenderblaster.com/blenderblaster/. Here are some real crappy cell pic. Will try and post some good picks of the bike tomorrow.

Swapped out my Nostalgic air cleaner cover for a smooth round one.....I think it looks a little more old school....

Came as a set, derby, inspection and ignition covers. Ebay I think. The HD nostalga cover(panhead look) was hitting the floorboard in the up position.


DID a quick search and found this... Derby Cover
...pretty sure it's the same one. I'd jump on it.




And FWIW the seat rail from BlenderBlaster looks like a way nicer unit.

Here are some better pics. It is still a work in progress, but I think she is coming along. Have only had her for a month. 2000 miles so far and loving every single mile!
