Great job on the seat, Howie.  8) I like the little sissy bar pad also.  Glad they worked the HD emblem back into the re-do.  Neat!  :2vrolijk_21: spyder

Thanks spyd! Wasn't sure I'd get away with that since the old material's a lil brittle. But they felt it would hold up fine. I'm just glad the stock seats used to be comfortable. No need to use anything else! (Especially since nothing else is made for it!) Good quality and quick turnaround! I'd recommend these Sargeant's dudes anytime! :2vrolijk_21:

Looks like they did a great job Howie. So much better to see a bike like this with the original equipment - IMHO.

Good job.

Hmm, thanks I think, but not quite sure what you're saying here Nige! :confused5:

This bike is done up with superior aftermarket stuff to the original equipment, and basically only the frame and tin (not even the tanks though) is all that's left of the original equipment. But it's done the way I wanted it done, and love the way it came out and rides now!!! :2vrolijk_21:

WooHoo!!! Got up to 50 today and had the WG out for about 60 miles this afternoon!!! The bike rides better than any new HD street bike I've ridden since the FXR days. You'd never catch me on a Dyna, when I can have one of these! And I never was a Softail dude, so that's never an option for me. The 4-speed Evo frame is one of the best platforms ever to leave HD!!! 110" Evo in there now, and smooth as glass! WTH needs counterbalancers? It was really great riding around and breaking her in this afternoon. Nuthin like a good ride to clear your head out! Highly needed these days!!! ;) :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3:

Was just talkin about the seat Howie - mechanics is another issue.

Glad to see you got to get some miles on this project and that it exceeds expectations! Nothin' like a good plan executed well. Now enjoy the results and ride like the wind!
