So to continue the disappearing act of the chrome...
The highway peg brackets gone powder
Then I was looking at the Mustang seat and how it doesn't fit.
So I called on my buddy Seatmaker Scott from
www.badassbikeseats.com
The front nose of the seat also needed to be trimmed due to the tank rise. So I figured I'd get a headstart on it.
Have to remove the front & rear brackets, held on by these weird rivits
Then I drilled out all the rivits holding the leather down.
You get this
Nice fiberglass seat pan... sturdy too.
Need this much trimmed off
I sent him the seat and he sent me some swatches... we picked the colors and he did his thing.
Damn it looks good! The colors match perfectly and the silver/black/silver and black/silver/black depending on which way you look at it... works well. Plus it seems cushier (think the leather gives better) and it is definately softer/gripier material.
It's really coming together and I can't wait to get the exhaust on. Just waiting on the ceramic. Bike is really going to look different when we roll it out.
