Thumbs up

I swapped my stocker for the '25...
liked the way it moved me back a bit.. I was always riding on the rear rim of the stocker...
I took off the '25 and now am running with a seat that Shaun at sokustom's built for me...

It took me a few rides to break in the sokustom seat... but I ran 200 miles this weekend with no issues

I know there are several places that will re-work the stock seat....but after seeing Shaun's work on the forum I decided to go with him.....and I am glad I did

Thanks, Cheesecake. Saw your bike on his site...looks sweet. Tough decision ahead, no doubt about it.

Mine is a Duane Ballard. Click for Duane's website. I love his work. I dont really know the first thing about leather working, but whenever I am looking through a magazine, I immediately know when the seat is a Ballard. It amazes me how he matched the leather with the flat black so it all blends in.

Christian from Xian leather, and Shaun from Sokustom do great work as well. You cant really go wrong with any of them

I always wondered where your seat came from. Nice work indeed.

Default what about springs

The other thing you can consider is dropping the stock 3" springs out with 2" - the ride still feels good but the look improve dramatically - cheap and easy too

Hi Barry,
