mwwmwwx,
(jeez buddy, not much chance anyone else choosing the same screen name as you)
Right click your mouse button on your pic then mine & check out the properties this will give you an idea of the size you want to resize to.

Cheers

Aussie_FLSTFSE--Thanks for resizing that!

Aha! I see that I posted a big pixel monster. Will go for the 640 x 480 range next time....

Yup, the Corbin seat feels much more comfortable than the stock version, and the backrest gives great support. Keeps me on the bike when I punch it too! I've very happy with it. I'm especially happy with the heel-toe shifter too. Maybe it's just because I'm used to them, but I can shift much faster and cleaner, and it's way easier to find neutral.  

OK, here's an attempt at a rear view that shows the seat, shifter, and windshield....

Yeah. mwwmwwx is an old legacy username that I grabbed quick just to get on the site. I just changed it to California FatBoy. Just quit my job, so I finally have some time to take care of stuff like this. Hope to tour the SouthWest USA and do some photography next week, but that's a job for my Goldwing as the FatBoy is not broken in yet (and I carry tons of stuff!).

Hey Now,

Nice bags, I have had my eye on the Boss Bags for a while.  In the pics you included it looks like you also have a "docking" type mount in the rear part of the fender strut, just in front of the blinker.  If so, is this for a detachable sissy bar??

I want to attach a detachable sissy bar, and I wanted to make sure it would work with the Boss Bag docking hardware. They have a nice picture on there website illustrating what I would like to do:

It looks like the harley sissy bar and accessories in the pic, just not sure about the mount.  Great looking bike by the way!!

[Hey Now]

NCDOC,

Yes, I do have the detachable sissy bar as well.

[ncdoc]

hey Now,

Awesome pic, and thx for the response.  One more follow-up question...

Did you need to install a kit to move the directionals due to the sissy bar??  The guys at my harley dealer told me I would need to with their sissy bar detachable mount.

Thanks in advance.

Greg

[Hey Now]

NCDOC,

Ya know, I'm not sure.   I had the sissy bar/etc put on prior to picking up the bike and now I can't remember if they had to
move the lights or not.

NCDOC,
Ya know, I'm not sure.

Yeah, that looks like the relocation kit HD recommended for placing the detachable sissy bar.  I have read about some people grinding back the posterior portion of the sissy bar frame to fit with the stock turn signal stalks.

I bought and put on the Boss Bags and the HD quick release sissy bar and can confirm you do need the signal relocation kit.

[ncdoc]

Awesome info, I was wondering if I would have to remove the fender support.  It sounds like one side at a time might be the easiest way.  I havent gotten the kit yet.  Do the wires for the directionals have a quick release or plug or do they need to be cut when the fender support is removed?

Greg

[NorEaster]

The directional wires do have a quick release, which is inside the tail light.  However, the plug has to be cut off anyway to feed the wires through the new directional support supplied in the relocaton kit.  And it is a tight fit, even with the liquid soap they suggest using.  But by removing the fender support from the bike you can work on it while sitting comfortabley at a table and just take your time with it.  I also chose to solder the wires back together and use waterproof heatshrink, the kind with the goo that comes out the ends when used that seals around the wires.  But the crimp connectors supplied with the kit will work fine, I just feel solder is more reliable long term so choose to use it instead.

I noticed a couple of bikes in here with the headlight nacelle kit, gives it the look of a road king.  I like it and want one on my cobalt and yellow SEFTBY.  However the local Harley Dealer says it wont fit.  Any suggestions?

[UK Dave]

Yeah - Sell the FB and buy a RK

Easy
