Put a Saddlemen seat on my FXLRS

 

That seat looks really cool, and fitting.
How poofy and cushy are those tuck and roll ridges though? Are they soft and sit ontop of the gel and foam?

 

There are 2 issues that are always talked about w.r.t. the M8s. Transfer and sumping.
Transfer (trans fluid moving into the primary) seems to only happen with hydraulic clutches, so only touring bikes not softails.
Sumping is what the A1 videos are talking about. That has to do with the engine oil, not the transmission.
That softail with all the oil buildup (happens to be a Fatboy like I have) is why me and many others vent the breathers out of the air filter to avoid all the oil (and hot air) going back into the throttle body.
Now the oil cap breather is said to help to avoid sumping.

 

Good so far. I will ride longer tomorrow. Still breaking it in

 

This was the valve they could offer me, the measurements where in line what I had in my thoughts. I like to keep it all in one part .. in the dipstick. So whenever the line is cut, lost or
pulled of it still have his function. I'm a person that does not like simple solutions, then I would be like so many other people out there

 

I been too busy to post my stage 1 upgrade, this is from last week

 

Looks great, nice job with the bike. By the way your flag is hanging backward on the wall.

 

The bike looks great. I remember when you posted about the brown seat. Looks really sharp.

 

Installed stock tourpack instead of my Leather Pros. Both are nice but I prefer stock look so this is one I will keep



I have to say Leather Pros is top quality product no doubt. Just chasing matching look.

 

My wife has the exact same bike and color she put that same tour pk on for the same reason. Now she doesn't have to put her stuff in one of my bags!!
