YES ! Especially you guys in the Memphis area. Find MJZ out on one of his Beemers and run him down a few times. I am still smarting like iodine on an open cut from his trading Elvis in on a Beemer for chump change without so much as call to me that he was selling it. B B |

Dangerous moment at dinner tonight. Some dipchit wanted the Road King bad enough to offer serious coin. Should've sold it. But couldn't pull the trigger. Damn..... Hope don't stumble in to the same guy again soon. Or maybe I should  . Damn. |

The first ground up bike I ever built back in the mid 90's.....the first time I rode it, while getting gas, I was offered serious coin for it. Sold it... I had 3 other bikes at the time. It was a fun project, but I was done with the project. Moved on to the next one... (but it wasn't an 02 Brandywine SERK!) |

(but it wasn't an 02 Brandywine SERK!)Almost any other toy I've ever had would've been sold for the ratio of what I had in it compared to what this guy offered. Actually still a little surprised I didn't sell it. This bike still has a lot more play time in it though. It can't go away yet. Probably not for a long time. |

Good for you, Don! Glad to know there are still men who can't be bought in this world. I don't care what everybody else says about you ... you're okay in my book.
I know you are tired of hearing this, but that is a beautiful work of art you have there. Enjoy it.

Thanks Dan. Appreciate it. Never tired of good words on that bike. It was a fun project. |

The slow march through the lingering details of this project bike got an improvement today. Not sure yet, but maybe not even a small one.
Have hated the saddle. It was an eBay score. Knew I wanted a solo and got a chance at a Corbin "classic solo" originally built for 04-05 SEEG. After getting it discovered the Classic Solo was (relative to my ass) absolutely terrible to ride on.
It didn't mate well to the dash (annoyed the hell out of me as could see the gap and harness through it from the saddle). It was narrow. Seat position was very low and cupped so the sides came up under your thighs. And it sat way too far bike and way too low for my tastes. I was expecting a solo version of the dual tour saddles. This classic solo and was significantly different and worse (relative to my needs) in every way; and it was uncomfortable.
Couple weeks ago a site member sent a link to another Corbin classic solo. This one specifically for early FLHX. That's the same dash as the SEEG but the pics of the seat at least looked like the seat might go forward just a bit further. Pictures showed enough to allow the hope it would cover the gap between the nose of the seat and the tail of the dash.
Seat arrived tonight and it seems to fit much better. It's a "close" version of the classic solo so it sets me farther forward (much better). The seating position is much less cupped than the other saddle also. So the pressure under the outer hips and thighs seems better on first impression.
Can't say yet if the riding position will end up being all-day-good. But already know it's much better. The extra pad the heated seats get is a plus and this one is heated where the other was not. Altogether well worth the gamble on another seat for such a cheap price.

Overall seems a better looking fit and "look." New (to me) saddle on the right.

This one is still narrower than I'd like. Not nearly as wide as the dual tour saddles from Corbin. But the less sculpted hole for the ass is better and I needed the "close" further forward and raised seating position. Wish it was wider to completely support the rear end. But it's a lot better. The other was a 250 mile saddle. This is probably twice that.

You can try to reduce the size of your ass? :-) Kidding aside, I believe Mustang makes a close solo that is much wider than the Corbin you might consider as an alternate. They may even make a heated version, haven't checked. |
