You guys all have a LONG way to go til you catch me in the "unjustifiable spending" department!

I used to have a spreadsheet where I listed everything I had done to Honey Badger… but eventually I just stopped updating it nor even looking at it, because the numbers were just getting too scary! If I ever sold this bike, I'd lose my shirt on it!

I had done the same thing on my old 95 FLHTP… the numbers for it got obscenely high as well, and I didn't get back HALF of what I had in the bike when I sold it. It's just too easy to mod these things and break your wallet in the process!

To the OP... Your Danny Gray Air Hawk seat is beautiful! The main reason I dumped the stock seat on Honey Badger was because it was so thin and useless, and you couldn't even put a back rest on it. I might look into that solo seat. I would love to have a solo seat for when I ride alone - which is most of the time actually, since my wife often prefers to ride her little Ninja 650, and she doesn't like the all-day trips my riding buds and I so often take.

I have one for my :pumpkin:... have had it since I bought it (matter fact started it before picking bike up so I could record the accessories purchased at delivery). It is a combination wish & purchase list... like you the purchased items have added up, and I still have items that remain in the "wish" part of the list. I look/feel the list is a deterrent for me in not getting another new bike... as long as I haven't gotten everything on the wish list and the purchased items cost are a constant reminder of the money dumped into the bike it reminds me not to start over again. :P :D

I am looking at the airhawk weekday 2 up.Although I have just purchased the bike and only been on a couple of rides(around 2 hour rides)my partner is already complaining that her butt gets sore from the seat. The seat I have on the bike is a nice seat with some nice patterns/inlays but I think that where the stitching is ,it digs in causing an uncomfortable ride.I don't want the big pillow seat look,as I want something that is aesthetically a bit more streamlined.I wont be doing any major long halls.Just day tripping around.So This looks the better option than a pad or trying to get the rear seat re covered(this may still not fix the problem).
Anyone else got the weekday 2 up ? Also does the standar FLHX also fit the FLHXSE cvo ?

I don't have the 2-up. Regarding the FLHX and FLHXSE they should be interchangeable.

what model is your one? I figure it must be 2 piece judging by your previous description of solo and also a pillion seat.(Bigseat) ?

Yes, that is correct along with a backrest. I will be putting it on tonight and taking a ride tomorrow. Should be the tell of the tale afterwards.

Cool, I'm interested in your feedback after your ride.Especially on the rider backrest as I suffer lower back pain

I rode the seat just over 500 miles. Felt really could except that it's lower than the CVO Hammock seat and my ass lands lower throwing my knees up. Not a comfortable position for me as I have long legs.

Seat, Backrest and Pillion is for sale here on CVOHarley.com: http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?action=classifieds;sa=view;id=544
