I knew you were thinking of bagging it! We can do it, but first, let me say it out loud! Get that old Harley thinking out of your head. These bikes are meant to ride hard! :laugh: Okay, back to the task at hand. It shouldn't be that big of deal, You'll be the guinne pig for my project instead of my bike being the test bed. I've got an H2 coming to do a mono shock on to develope the system on this winter, other than that and a top end on a yahama voyager I've got some free time.

More talk on this later, you'll be here to tidy up the details

Yeah I think the crocodile seat covering would work well specially with your paint scheme, just not the ostrich insert..... colour is all wrong with the green.

exotic animal hides on muscle/sport bikes seems over the top to me.
in a "triggers the gag reflex,kinda way" :sick: .
i haven't seen one i liked yet.
i have a friend with a gator hide seat on a super glide and i think it was the worst money she could have spent.

thats my .02.

I don't know, I liked the old seat to be honest. I like subtle and your nailed that with what you had. Do another one and save that one for when you show it?
