Just for your information, Mustang does not make a leather seat, all of their seats are 100% vinyl, corbin on the other hand is vinyl only on the sides. Harley has some really nice 100% all leather seats that look very good, check them out also.

Geronimo, did you get the biker gel put in? How would you compare your barebones to your stock seat?
Thanks

Yeah, I went with the azz gel. I think its is much more comfy than the stock p.o.s! (Tangent Rant: I say this to everyone who will listen, HOW IN HELL CAN THE MOCO PUT SUCH A CHEAP P.O.S. ON A GREAT BIKE. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SEAT IS PLASTIC AND RUBS THE @%&$! OUT OF THE PAINT!!!) I have put about 8K miles on the seat and love it. The longets ride was about 400 miles in one day with out azz issues....

Bassman,
I pick-up my new Street Bob Monday. Coming off of a Road King Custom, I am dealing with separation anxiety about all of the stuff I won;t be able to carry with me unless I put bags ont he bike. It's hard to tell from your picture but did you mount aftermarket "throw over" bags on your FXDB? If so, could you send me a pic or two and description of what you did as I have a set of Iron Bags form an Panhead I used to ruide that I would love to use on my new Street Bob. Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention that while leather does take a little more care, it will serve you a lifetime if maintained. Leather breaths and is much more comfortable, IMO, during those dog days of hot and humid riding. Witht hat said, vinyl has its conveniences, not the least of which being lower cost, but if you can deal with the minor drawbeacks of leather, you will get class for your *** in a time honored fashion.
