You probably already know this, but I'll throw this out there just on case. Doing research on here for the past few months, I have heard nothing but GREAT things about Mean City Cycles. They can re-pad, custom stitch, re-leather...basically make whatever changes you want. They are not expensive.

For example, for future (later this year) planning, I just got a quote for re-stitching, re-padding and leather mod (removing "Chiclet" trim from 2019 Heritage stock seats) for the rider seat, re-stitching for the passenger seat and a custom bar & shield stitch on the sissy bar pad. All for less that $475! I do believe there is a slight upcharge for work done on an aftermarket seat. Shipping extra. Basically you can get what youwant and it is custom.

Thanks! I'm going to look them up. The Mustang rear seat should be here tomorrow so I'll see what I like best.

I added a rear spoiler to the Street Bob. I was browsing the European Motorcycle Storehouse catalog. (Always gets me in trouble.)
It said basically that once you notice that gap between the rear section of the frame and the rear tire, you'll never un-see it. They were right.
I could never figure out what was missing, why my Street Bob never looked as solid as my old Wide Glide. This solved the problem. It is cool that the part maker is a little shop in Lithuania in the middle of farm fields. A little paint and it looks like a newer, fuller, heavier bike. At least to me.



Part comes black, certainly presentable if you want black


Here is the big gap between the rear section of the frame and the rear tire. You'll always see it now!


Gap filled.


Before


After

Yeah looks good, I have the compressor there with the emission stuff on it, so it's filled up a bit and my exhaust cover it. But now you need one more in the front like me

If you type in your search in the search bar it gives you the choice to ad your country and then it will show you the price.

Thanks! But $188 plus shipping.... wow. For something you won't really see on my Fatboy, I'm going to pass.
