When I get my money right I am going to have fireman1501 fab me a rear fender and possibly front. He does great work but it's kind of pricey so I'm saving my nickels.

Fender looks good Bro.
I just finished a weeks vacation. Had a great time and logged a bunch of miles on the bike.
I put the Boomaudio windshield speaker on last Friday it is okay but not as loud as I had expected. Any thing over 65 and the wind noise drowned out the music.

Here are a couple pics of the bike in two up mode as the Daughter wanted to go out for a day with me and the wife.

Sucks that the boom audio wasn't great. I was really wanting to go that route but if I can't hear it on the highway then it is worthless to me. Most of my riding is highway. Does anyone know how many amps a street glide audio system is running? Why can they hear theirs but anything behind a windshield doesn't work? Getting tired if my ear buds.

RWD did a 9.25" cruiser rear fender for me. They don't have a mold for 9.25", but chopped a 10" down the middle. Only regret, Is tat I should of stressed that the weld mesurements had to be perfect. It came with a slight twist that made fitting a challenge in respect to centering vs. gaps.

I don't know what Fireman charges...but the RWD was $300.

Need help guys. Wife and i went for a ride for most of the day and came back with our butts hurting.

Any advice on a 2 piece seat? Looking for something with that same style and size as the factory but just more comfortable. Dealer recommended a sundown passenger seat but it was wider than the rear fender and i count get past the look once i put it on the same bike in their showroom.

*** I only have 500 miles on the bike, do you think the seat hasn't been broken into yet?***

It all depends on what you want from the tuner and future projects do your home work read read read... Contact fuel moto great company great deals and if you plan on pcv I might have one for sale in the very near future..... Be safe
overall, im just looking to get my bike to run as efficiently as possible once the new exhaust and air cleaner are installed. my daily commute is only about 15 minutes, and having the army schedule doesnt always allow for regular long rides. i plan on contacting fuel moto and seeing what they have to say, and then i'll go from there.

Pravda, I put a Corbin Classic Solo and pillion on my 2010 LO. I also added 6" risers to the stock handlebars. Much, much more comfortable now. I can ride all day with no back pain. Love the seat!
Last bike I had was a Triumph America. When I bought it it had a Corbin seat on it. It was also very comfortable. Great products.

Thank you for your reply.

Was all gun ho about the Corbin, then heard it was the hardest seat out of all the aftermarkets. Still up in the air, Corbin, Mustang, Sundown.

Going to see if the local dealer has a seat loaner program.
