V, Got the stuff in today....Sundowner seat and pillion (new part number this year for the 06 SE...about an inch narrower), "touring" backrest pad to match the pillion, plate, luggage rack, and sissy bar. One reason for the wider backrest is the little suitcase HD makes to fit over that part number and sissy bar which will be perfect for day rides and work stuff. Also the wiring kit to make all the rear lights work as running and brake, and have the new "clear" with chrome insert LED tailight on order. It has over 20 red led's in a diamond cut lens to really make the back end noticeable when you hit the brakes. I need this going back and forth to work on the bike, and for any night riding I might do. When I get it all on this weekend, I'll post some pics.
Come to think of it, I do think I remember saying something to you about these parts when you were going to pick up your bike in MB.
With my color (it will all sit on the Charcoal Metallic color on the rear fender), and the wider fender, I think the chrome will look better than the black, plus it will help balance out all the chrome on the front!! On yours, I think you made a good choice in doing black. The Orange and Black theme carried out to it's logical conclusion for that application.
I'm just not much on night riding...so easy to outrun the headlight, plus I'm an old fart and the vision isn't what it used to be at night, or at least it seems that way. But there will be times.....don't mind it if I know the road well, but in strange places, it makes the pucker factor go up.
I think I can keep Suzanne on the back with this set-up
I've heard the Sundowner seat is very comfortable, so may just leave it all alone and not swap back and forth, depending on how it all looks.
