I know V-Twin makes a solo seat frame cover for Evos but I’m not sure about twin cam...my guess is it can be adapted as the fenders and frame are not so different. https://www.jpcycles.com/search/sear...ensionValueId=

Me too! I'm still on the original Dunlops that were on the bike when I bought it last August...

I've run Avon Venom in the past and im on my second set on Metzler 880s currently. I can't remember the Avons anymore. I'd be curious to see a side by side comparison at this point.

Excellent rain tire. I had the original Avon cobras on my own 09 heritage and put the chromes on my 06 softail. I had dunlops and metzler's and they don't compare. The Chromes are outstanding. As soon as my stock Duns wear out on my SG I will switch to Chrome's....

Installed the Saggy Bags liners in my Heritage Softail's saddlebags. Just got the bike a month ago and the bags were badly collapsed. Had some difficulty but called Saggy Bags and Bobby gave me a suggestion that really helped out. Bags look almost new now.
