Purchased my 'skunk' two weeks ago, trying to decide on tru-duals vs. slip ons and a race tuner..... can anyone off any suggetions.... I would like to either use the black tips that came on the bike or purchase new ones... thanks,

Fullsac Stage I header and cores, plus TTS tuner and canned map.  $1100 if you do the work.  Best bang for the buck out there, period.

I really like the stock seat on my skunk. The only thing that I missed was a back rest. I went to my local ulpolstery shop and he made me a removable back rest. Then I had him restich the passenger pillon and passenger back rest to match the stock riders seat. I am very pleased with the results and the price.

Now that is a great idea  :znotworthy: :idea3:

That is exactly what I want. How is the drivers backrest attached? Pictures?

He uses the same set up as Cobin. He has to attach a braket that he makes to the stock seat pan then makes the back rest and uses the square stock like Corbin. It has the same type of adjustment and is removeable. He can reuploster the seat with what ever you want or modify the stock cover. He then modified the pillon to work with the back rest. I can go solo or two up just like before. It's very clean and affordable. It takes him about 3-4 days to do this.

I just ordered the new Lepera Continental/Backrest seat for my Skunk. 
The seat is 17" wide for the rider and 16" for passenger.
I bought it for the wife when touring and long trips.
I always used Corbin's in the past. 

How do you like your LePera Continental??

Please, more/better/larger photos.  Can you take one of just the backrest out? Seat mod?  I love my stock seat but would love to have a backrest like that!!!  :2vrolijk_21:  That is amazing... hope it is OK for you to share.

Hope this helps anwser your questions.
The set up is just like Corbin. He has to shorten the passenger pillon some to make room for the back rest.
