OK guys...here's the pics! After I put the seat on all I could do was stand back & say "WOW...HOLY S!@#"! Looks like a completely different bike with this solo on it...what do you guys think
Look great, I can't wait to get mine. Did you switch over the bumpers?

Just slowlypealed off the 4 rubber bumpers on the fender, cleaned really good the 4 spots where they hit on the 2-up seat & re-stuck them on the 2-up seat. The adhesive that's on them is really sticky stuff & I don't think you'd ever have to use another adhesive on them...they look like they're not going anywhere underneath the 2-up seat!

Looks good, Dynas are the best looking solo bike.

I put those "bumpers" on the seat itself and it hasn't left a mark on the fender yet.
Now there's an idea... What did you put them on the seat with?
As someone has already figured out, the adhesive is very good and sticks to the seat well. i have a pelion seat that I use for two up and the hole in the fender for two up gets a Harley thumbscrew with a bib over the fender when going solo.
Some may not like it but it works for me.

It's amazing how a simple seat swap can make a bike look so different. Bike looks good.

does the brawler change your seating position further up or further back?

Very nice. Does look like a different bike. It is amazing what a $300 investment can do to change the look of a $15K bike.

Hey FXDC Rider, again don't want to break this thread, but happened to notice you have also changed the fork sliders for chromed ones... I also have purchased them, but hate to think about the mess I make in my garage and don't even know if I have the right tools. Was it easy to replace or didyou do it at the dealers?

Since my female partner does not like riding bikes, I guess I will end up doing the same with the seat. Great looking Dyna you have.

I'd say it moves you up just a hair because that back "lip" on the brawler is so sharply defined. I'm 6' & in a comfortable riding position on it the very top of my butt crack sits just to the very top of that back lip. However, this new seat is a new feeling for me & just got to get used to it & break the seat in a bit. I absolutely love the seat, both for the way it looks & feels. It's a pricey seat, but the more I look at it & ride on it I think it was worth every penny!

The chrome forks was already on the bike when I bought it, along with about $1,600 worth of other stuff to it as well. One of the Harley employees's nephew was going to buy my bike. Then his Uncle put on about $2K worth of stuff to it as a surprise-gift to him. After his nephew told his wife about the bike & she threatened to divorce him if he bought it, the bike was back on the floor for sale & waiting for me to become it's owner!
