Ken,

The look is traditional Harley. It depends on if you like that look or want either the new look of the LeatherLykes or the convenient and waterproof features of the LeatherLyke.

I have seen some Harley riders go to a new seat because it looked better on the bike even if it was more uncomfortable. One Harley rider went to so far as to buy a low, thin, hard, uncomfortable seat because he looked better on the bike with that seat.

Personally I like the...

I was given a free set of leather bags. What do you all think of this look in lieu of the leatherlyke type?
I think it looks more traditional. Kens T

Thanks for the kind remarks about the bags.
The fluffy white dog is on borrowed time, i think. She might outlast me. LOL
Shes 17 this year and still out runs most dogs in the area. She fights all dogs no matter how big. She is tough, i mean really tough. She's definitely queen
Bi!#@. She may not look H-D like but she has the attitude!!!!

Ken, are you sure the white, fluffy dog goes with your H-D? You may have to re-think the dog, the H-D or both.

Now you have the look Ken. The bags really balance the profile of the bike. I like the look...lots. Bob

Ken, are those the 21 liter LeatherLyke saddlebags? They look good on your H-D.

I agree, the bags really compliment the bike.

Ken, I don't know for sure what the name of this is, but I find it in with the shelf liner at most stores. It's a silicone foam mesh type material that has a lot of grab. I use it in my tool box drawers to keep the tools from sliding around too much. I also find it handy for both protecting the seat, and to keep the bag from sliding around. If you put a section between your seat and the bag, it will help keep the bag in place when you lean against it.

I don't have a backrest, however for the trip i'm going to strap my dufflebag to the passenger spot and hope to lean back on it a bit .

Ken....I use the duffle bag as a back rest on my Shadow when I'm travelling. I found that if I attached my bike cover with a spyder web to the face of my duffle it worked perfectly as a backrest. And that helps to take some of the attention to my sore butt away.

Very nice Ken! I think the bags will really complete the look. Have a great trip. Bob

Thanks Skip,
Yeah that's the stock seat. Its real comfortable (soft) I'm riding to Lessburg Bike Fest at the end of April. I'll let you know if i like it after 400 miles. I bought a lower profile (cool looking) seat on e-bay. It had a wide passenger seat for my wife's backside than this stock one. I like this one better (softer).

Thanks Ken. Man that is one bad ass looking machine. Is that the original seat? How does HD stock seats compare to Honda's?

I've seen these bars before but a little differently styled. Obviously there is more than one manufacturer for this style. These I like a lot.

Ken, those crashbars look both sharp and comfortable. What a great idea to include both safety and highay pegs functions in one product.

I love it Ken. Just awesome.
