Hey guys, once again thanks.
I got home from work jonsing for for a ride to try out the new seat. Put the new bung in and took the old one in back off. I was surprised how simple it was. Went to screw down the back of the seat and the freaking screw that came with the seat didn't fit the bung. So I had to hurry to find one laying around the house. (wife doesn't know yet I bought a new seat) Finally found one and got the fu*k out.
Love the new look. I had about a hour ride and all is well. Now I want to find time to paint the screw and tab on the seat.
So, next question. For those that still have the bob tail. How do you get rid of the mud flap of license plate holder. Did you just cut it off? And what is a good cheap side mount?
Thanks,
Dank

I cut mine off a few years back. Just cut, smooth and contour the cut with a Dremel. Sanded the whole thing smooth and sprayed with some flat black. I got a side mount (I think it's Kuryakyn) but it's chrome, so it's going to the powder guy this winter along with a ton of other shiny crap! It was very easy, just take your time and it'll turn out great.

oh yeah dankfoot this is what I got, on their website its like 100 bux, maybe cheaper on ebay? oh yeah and if I had it to do over again I'd get a sidemount off the axle instead of the swingarm, cause now I don't have room for a swingarm bag on the left side...

Ok it's 10:39pm and I (with alot of help) finally just got done installing the Progressive lowering kit for the front and lowering bolts on the rear. Aaron you were right installing the lowering bolts on the rear SUCKED!!!!!!! As far as the front kit Ash and Mark was right it was way easier than I expected. Not to mention having someone who knows what their doing was a BIG help. I'll post pics first thing tomorrow. Time to get some sleep.
