Thanks Marty.  And for anyone who might ever run across them the Lugos (Sr and Jr) team were great and fun guys to work with.  Had a good time just chilling around their vendor spot between wanders around the rest of the area during the afternoon and evening. Their music was up, they were having a good time, I was having a good time, it's always a treat to watch someone work who is REALLY good at something I'm not so a good time was had by all.  My wallet was deflated when it was all done but it was definitely worth it  .

Very nice upgrade Don.  Nice to have a seat tailor fit for your own needs.

Very nice, Don...  Very much like the look...

Thanks again guys.  Rode it again today back and forth to northern Arkansas.  Got to meet Bubba and PK and Jerry and his friend Jeff while there and Travis and I rode down and back together.  So a couple hundred miles on the saddle so far.  Just enough to really know Lugos nailed the rideability/comfort part for me.  If fits my butt real well and will now finally make for a pretty good all day saddle.  Doing this was such a better option than the craps shoot of just buying a new saddle somewhere.

And, yeah, the look is awesome.  I'm digging this one a lot.  Like it every bit as much as the Road Glide's saddle.

Don... real happy that your recent mods to seat are good for you (and the seat does look really nice)... however the highlighted/bold above is bordering on TMI!!!

Au contraire mon frere; nothing is more important about a saddle than how it fits one's boo-tay.  Now if I'd said the new saddle made my nuts REALLY happy (which it does); now that might have been TMI.  But of course I didn't go there at all  .

Oh... you didn't in the post I quoted... but you did in a previous post...

The Road King got a little love today.  Re-worked the saddle.  Always like the general look/shape of the solo I settled on.  The front to back placement was really good as was the up and down.  But it was uncomfortable.  Whomever made that saddle did it for some person with a itty bitty tiny round butt.  The seat pocket was small and surrounded by other saddle so the the hips, thighs and "the boys" all got some upward and uncomfortable pressure that didn't make it an all day saddle.

At BBBQ rally in Arkansas today got Master Lugos to rebuild the seat.  He resculpted the seat to my ass's tastes and added just a little foam.  It's not sofa soft like many might think they want.  It's still a firm saddle like I prefer.  But it's not rock hard either.  It's like Corbin level firm but down just a small notch from there.  And it's comfortable now.  That's the best part.

Of course while this artisan had the seat all apart I had him dress it out too.  I like this A LOT.   

Before it was just an all black solo saddle that didn't look bad on an otherwise nice bike.  But it didn't jump to catch your attention either.  Now it does its own part to help keep up with the rest of the bike:

Really looks fantastic!

When you're right you're right.  But the boys were happy.  And being secure in themselves they weren't ashamed to share that fact.  A saddle that squished them being fixed to no longer do so is a big thing in their world!

Thanks so much.  Several folks saw it today in person in good natural light and the reaction was good across the board.  I knew I liked it a lot (which is of course the most important thing for my bike).  But it's good to see others digging it too  .

On the ride home this afternoon the thought crossed my mind, "huh, this bike is finally 'done' now."   Then, of course, as I was coming through town to get to the house someone started to change lanes too close and I discovered the horn has stopped working....   I jinxed it....

Can't be mad atcha for the "happy boys".

Not in the habit of promoting OEM parts but upgraded my horn to this - Loud Side-Mount Horn Kit 69060-90H and been real happy with it... if indeed it is the horn that needs to be replaced.
