Default My first bike

Hello folks,
Just joined up a little bit ago, and figured I'd throw my first post in here. Never owned my own bike (as an adult) until this '06 883L.





Been riding it when I could, but the stock seat that was on it had to go. Got my Mustang seat last night and rode it for a couple of hours today and decided that it's night and day on the comfort level, and from what I've read, it only gets better as it breaks in.

The bike rides great, and we love being out on the road again (been almost 20 years for me).

I probably will ask some stupid questions as I get familiar with it and look forward to talking to you all.

Jim

That is the stock seat, I just put the new mustang on this morning. I got

and it's extremely comfortable, so far.

Ahh OK. I wondered why I didn't recognize it I have been looking at that mustang seat for a while. I will eventually jump to it I am sure. If you can post one with the new seat that would be nice.

Mustang seats are good. I had one on a Heritage softail that was really comfy. Enjoy your ride!

As soon as it's nice (it's raining now or i'd be out riding), I'll get some new pics of the bike. Thanks for the warm welcome!
