Another option would be to have the stock seat re-shaped and padded. I did that to my stock seat. Added two layers of memory foam and lowered it about an inch and narrowed the front another 1 1/2" - 2". I just finished some nice long rides during a week off. Me and the wife did ab out 300-400 miles a day and my butt was happy. You could call your local dealer as I am sure they might be able to recommend a local upholster. Or you can send it off to Mean City cycles. Just thought I would throw out another option.
Thank you for your advice.
I will definitely look into this option.

Thanks for the compliment. I am really pleased with the visibility from the LEDs at night. With the aux. lights on the field of view is very well lit from shoulder to shoulder. Makes a big difference riding back roads at night and IMHO worth every penny (not to mention they look pretty sick too).

Do you have the correct part numbers for the head and aux lights?
HD's website ain't very clear on that.

Dansax: Sweet bike pic in your profile. I like the red. I was looking at Vance and Hines Big Radius 2-into-2 and a heavy breather. Got any specific suggestions. Everybody seems to do something a little different. This is my fist major upgrade for performance and I want to get it done the right way. Thanks for any guidance.

Any recommendations on a great looking/working heavy breather? I am partial to black to match the rest of my denim. Have looked into Kuryakyn High-Five Mach 2, Roland Sands Design Judge Venture Aircleaner Black Ops, and noticed a lot of folks going with Screaming Eagle Heavy Breathers.

Aux light setup and how it changes the windshield
Thanks for the compliment. I am really pleased with the visibility from the LEDs at night. With the aux. lights on the field of view is very well lit from shoulder to shoulder. Makes a big difference riding back roads at night and IMHO worth every penny (not to mention they look pretty sick too).
Anyone have an idea if it is possible to mod a windshield setup that was for a non aux light setup to work if I added the aux light kit? Is it a small change?
And I assume the train headlight changes the entire thing alltogether..

You could mark and cut the shield yourself around the aux lights or have a local auto glass shop do it for you.

The width is likely the biggest issue. Aux kit adds width to the trees and comes with spacers. I would think the windshield brackets for non-aux are narrower, or mount narrower on the lexan. But I'm not sure on any of that since I've never had a non-aux shield.
