I think that's because of the skirt. I always thought the Lepera skirted sprung solos would look nice because they wouldn't look like "springs on springs" on a Dyna. As someone else mentioned, the few I've seen do seem like the seating position is a little too far forward for comfort. I *think* that the Lepera solo is longer and wider and would work pretty well.

I'm holding off on a seat for now because I've flip-flopped too many times already. But the few sprung seats I've seen look really good in my opinion. The "sprung seat is silly on a Dyna" argument sounds good, but in reality I think they work fine.

That's one sweet looking bike! Nice Job. I love the look of a Spring seat... it adds an old school look to the Street Bob

The seat was done by www.dreamevildesigns.net. There isn't a plate the covers the frame, just left it open. The rear fender is a West Coast Choppers Tombstone.

if we all did the same thing everyone would have the same bike.

Build it how you want it.

Basic, great lookin machine. I've probably said that already.

Who did the striping??

One more, if you don't mind, Where'd the the rear turn signal assemblies come from??

Kimo, yep the first one broke and so we changed up the design a bit.

Mud, the striping was done by a local striper, hot rod guy. He's going to do some stuff on my CFL and my 51 as well. The turn signals (front and rear) are from Big Bear Choppers.
