Love that rear fender!
Did you need to cut the struts for it to fit?

It is a Mustang Wide Studded Solo with Backrest #79120
It is excellent, not everybody's choice but suits me as I am after comfort not looks. Not shown in that picture is the passenger seat, #79130 and sissy bar, but you can see them at my Webshots if you click on my signature line.

Pipes are on and loud. It add's so much to the the experience.
Kinda takes me back to when I was a we lad with playing cards in the spokes of my schwin bike. I guess the Harley sounds were those that ballons on the spokes.

Snowman, how did the Mustang effect your ride position? I get different answers from Mustang itself.

Finally got my christmas present on the bike. I love these bars compared to stock. Right where my hands are supposed to be.

Nice ride! What size tire ya got on back there?
Also what did you use to lower it?
One last thing, which signals are you using on the back there, they look great.

I got one two
I just joined the forum. I posted yesterday in the "new guy" area. I got an 05 FXSTI in Oct 04. I'm not much of a chromosexual, but there are some nice looking bikes in here!
I'm really interested in the little tips and tweaks. The things you do when you find yourself just looking at your bike and thinking, "I'd like to modify that a little bit, and I found a part online, but hell, I can just modify what I have"
Anybody can go to the dealer and buy $5,000 worth of HD stuff and bolt it on. So far, I have cut down my seat and and modifying the tail light license plate area.
I tried to attach a pic, don't know if it worked. My first post in the new guy area has a pic.

Robustus, first of all, let me say first that the seat is very comfortable. My riding habits have not changed since I got the seat, but now I do not have to stop and get the circulation back in my butt like I did with the stock seat.
Now as for your question, I think the seat moved me ahead an inch or two. That would be because of the construction of the built in backrest support, which is an excellent addition by the way.
Another change or a feel really is that the seat is very narrow at the front. That in itself is not a problem but I have offset extensions on my pegs which lowers my legs, therefore it feels that my upper thighs take some weight. This would not be the case if my feet and knees were higher keeping the support area more on the tailbone if you get my drift. I am trialling a set of highway pegs to give me a choice of positions for long periods of highway cruising.
Hope that helps, and I can post some pictures (if I can find them) if you like or have more questions, John

Thanks.. I lowered it with the progressive kit.. It rides kinda hard but I dont bottom out or rubb anything... The rear tire is an Avon 140 series, I dont think I could have went ay bigger, the belt is real close... The Turn signals are Kuryakyn halogen silver bullets...
