Great looking bike! I have always liked the look of the Slim ever since they came out a few years ago. How much did the rear fender bib cost if you do not mind me asking? I am seriously considering getting a Mustang 2 piece seat for my Deuce and also considering getting a bib to cover the fender for when i do not have the passenger seat on.

Bibs start at 75.00 + shipping. I paid US$200.00 for both... but remember, I went with real leather, I had the HD logo laser etched on the tank bib and Wachuko laser etched on the fender bib... would have been a lot less without that...
Drop a mail to Chris @ Three Mutts Customs <chris@threemuttscustoms.com> for pricing. Great guy to deal with. Not related, no interest, blah blah blah - just one happy customer.
Must... hold... on...

If you go with the matching material of the seat is less than if you go with top grain leather.

Mustang Seat...Terrible!!
Hahahahahaha no sh*** Sherlock still I was surprised that it was skinnier than a Sportster!
Seat arrived today. Love the looks... will test it in an hour or so... stock seat now in storage
Tank bib ordered...
Seat felt much better than stock, even if it moved me a bit forward.
Ordered a brown leather tank and fender bib from Chris @ Three Mutts Customs
Front matching tool bag arrives today. I think that I am finally done with the bike... only need to play around with the size of the back tire to eliminate the spacers in there. Or, if I keep that tire, make decent spacers that slide into the channel of the bracket. Right now I am using some thick washers...
Got the tool bag from Fox Creek Leather... not a match...
https://www.foxcreekleather.com/heav...brown-toolbag/
From this:
To this (I simply stuffed the HD tool bag inside the new bag):
I will change the tie-wraps for black ones as soon as I find the @#$%@#$ bag of new black tie-wraps that I got over a month ago)
But you know what? F-it! will use it anyway... and I will also have a non-matching tank and fender bib in brown leather from Chris @ Three Mutts Customs . Chris did give me the option to go with the same material used in the Mustang seat as he has that. But he could not make any engraving on those like I wanted... so I went with real leather... Something along the lines of this (mine should be here in a few weeks):
Age will give it all character

I found out the Mustang seat for me was terrible...it is very misleading..thinking you have a lot more padding in the back of the seat...when you have about 1" of padding before your tailbone is hitting the hard plastic housing where the rear bracket is!! My stock seat is currently being re done and re upholstered in brown diamond stitching!!

So lets see a photo of your motorcycle with the Corbin seat on it? I just found they were too expensive and too many people actually feel they are not that good for the price paid..so never went with one on my FJR1300 or my Harley Softail Slim(2017).....would like to see the back view of it how it attaches to the seat..how the bracket is...all photos I've seen on the website..keep showing the passenger seat with the view..not just the solo seat!! All I can say is the Mustang seat is pure crap!! LOL..will be selling it shortly!!!
