I have also added the 2012 windshield and GPS. the windshield that came on the 2011 is just about useless. I was getting a lot of whistling in my ears and turbulence in my face. The 2012 is much better.

I will be trailering my 2012 FLSTSE3 home tomorrow, as they put a ton or two of road salt on the roads today. but at least it will be home.

Satin Pewter - the pictures do NOT do it justice.

Took it out today after installing the Gerbings wireing harness, 34 degrees, but the raods were dry. Only a 35 miler, but it ride nice, I like the Mini Apes, and the 110 SE motor. Rain and snow in the forecast the rest of the week, so now it will sit with the cover and battery tender till march or when the roads are SALT free.

Thx Spy - it really does. I have enjoyed my previous two CVO's and this one is not disappointing.  :2vrolijk_21:

will be adding 62823-08B flush mount fuel gauge/cap and have all winter to consider which exhust to buy. Most likely it will be a 2-1.
I was happy with the Bassani RR Long with the quiet baffle.

I will be talking to some fabrication shops near me to get one of these made for my solo seat.
What gauge steel is yours made of and do you know the angle of the bend?

I don't know the gauge but it is 1/8" thick. the lean angle depends on your height and arm length. I took of the sissy bar pad and took it to the welder and sat on the bike with the pad where I wanted it and had him determine the angle.

I am working on my version of the seat back.   The angle from the seat to straight up is about 120 degrees.

It will be awhile but when I get mine finished,  I will post pictures.

Thank you Xpanther for the template.   :jalapeno:  I will wait to see what Ozarke does as well.  :carrot: I cannot wait to compare both of the versions.   :orange:

Ozarke where are you getting yours done at? I think you may be in my area and they could do 2.

I am having this bracket made as we speak. If it turns out well, I can have them made in quantity for any other "solo" riders that want one.

will let you know in a day or so.
