Toutsuite Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Ok so I thought I'd post some pics of the latest modification on my draggie; thought I'd treat myself (and her) after the major operation of new stator and new reg/rec! Stock seat is ok but has no lower back support whatever, So obvious choice would be the mustang seat, but that is 1) stupidly expensive and 2) more suited looks wise to a classic than a custom - too plush. Undoubtedly comfy though... So after a bit of searching around I found the Profiler seat from Saddlemen, all the way from 'Murika. Ordered it from Motorcycle Superstore based in California, £210 delivered. 1
Toutsuite Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 Tested it this past Saturday riding around Surrey. Although firmer than the stock, it has that lower back support, so I can ride longer. It's comfy enough once you get used to it. It sits you lower and further front - the crown jewels practically resting on the tank! But then you lean back on that gelled arch and with the vibes of the engine, you get a nice massage!
meatloaf Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Touts that's a fine looking seat on a fine looking machine, love it.
Noise Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Looks a bit too soft for my liking ha ha. Looks really nice a compfy mate, least it can help with your piles too
Campaman Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Nice seat, I always think that some lower back support would be nice, I have the classic so would need to look at a different one to yours. I have looked at ordering some saddle bags from the Motorcycle Superstore but as they were in the good ol USA I wasn't sure if you would get stung for duty and VAT once it got to the UK on top of what they charge? Also I like the look of your saddle bags, can you tell me what make they are and where you got them from?
Toutsuite Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 Looks a bit too soft for my liking ha ha. Well it doesn't have a big rusty nail sticking out the middle of it, so didn't think it would appeal to ya! :-) 1
Toutsuite Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks meatloaf. Camps, I got em from customcruisers.com, but I think u can get em much cheaper on eBay. Just do a search for motorbike saddlebags, and scroll down till ya see them. 1
neversaydie Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Looks real good. Still the best one Ive seen 1
Ttaskmaster Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Wicked bad, my man!!! One helluva clean looking bike, too - Good job!! 1
