Fender and strut... Which are thise? They look goid there.
edited to correct. changed out the fender, struts, lighting, and license bracket.

I'll get a pic of all that this weekend. Swingarm and rear tire remained the same.

fender, struts, and seat are all RSD. Lights are small LED from Amazon (like $30), and the license bracket is No School Choppers axle mount.

Nice bike Tony. How do like your seat? Been considering the mustang. Does it feel like you're sitting further forward? How's the comfort? Thanks

Thanks!
Yes the Mustang seat does push you forward an inch or two but at 5'9" it made it easier to reach the shifter and kickstand for me.
Since putting it on, I haven't really gotten a chance to ride more than 30 minutes at a time so it's tough to say how comfortable it is. I can say it doesn't feel like I am sliding back onto the fender like I did with the stock seat.
Overall I am very happy with it so far.

I have had a Mustang seat on my Slim since I got it. Went on a 200 mile ride the first weekend and had no issues.

Since I can't send private messages - will have to ask it loud - to install RSD on 150 mm tire it seems you need to replace the battery as well? Is it true?
Reason for question - looking into same RSD seat, but in black-brows combination.

PS: Got similar back turn lights from Rizoma
