Looks great and fits really nice also. Is there any part number on the underneath side?

Is it more or less comfortable than the original?

There is the LePera sticker which I assume to be on all their seats. There is also a small white sticker with LK007 on it. I don't know if that is their model number or an after market company's number.

thanks - looks close enough indeed.
I don't want to chop your arm off by would you have a pic detailing the front-end sometime ?
just curious how well it sits adjacent to the stretched tank .

It is better in my opinion. It is not a touring seat but it feels better to my a$$. :2vrolijk_21:

I am not sure what type of pic you want Amarillo. I have posted several in this thread. Let me know exactly what you want and I will take one for ya.

I  have the Rush slip ons with the 2.25 baffles.  I am really happy.  I am noticing a pretty loud pop on deceleration, however, and am going to have the race tuner put on and have it dyno'd.  It runs well and I love the sound.  Looks just like the original set up.

I had the same 2.25 Rush slip ons on my 09 springer and the bike popped on 0 throttle decel going down hills, too. I tried many things, including tuning the bike with special emphasis on the VE tables at 0-2% throttle at low to mid rpm ranges. In the end, although I made significant progress, I never was able to eliminate the back firing completely. I put on new drag exhaust pipes (Rinehart), eliminated the cross flow system. That eliminated the problem for me. I personally believe a very small air leak exhisted in the exhaust someplace, which is known to cause popping, probably at the slip on location.

Thanks.  I will run this by the guys at the service department, or this other mechanic that works on a lot of my friend's bikes.  It is sort of embarrassing.  I like the rumble, but not the pop, pop, pop.
