Glad it worked out! Comfort is key, seat looks great. These seats can go from bad to worse fast on the wallet, especially if one starts considering bar changes to compensate too.
Good looking scoot. Now I know why you went with the wide tripper instead of the wide vintage solo....looks does matter. Keeps with the sleek low profile of the bike. Good choice.
I also used the Velociraptor on my bike....good performance and loved the look, but got tired of it so changed to the Arlen Ness Deep Cut Inverted AC
.
Making the bike your own is part of the fun...but never-ending.

Thanks! How do you like Arlen Ness intake? Any performance change? Yeah I love changing it up too. But the look I have is pretty much gonna remain I think. Considering a small tank lift and wire tuck and coil relocation. Also got some small front LED signals I need to wire in at some point

Lol like I said...endless.
No difference in performance between the Velociraptor and the Deep Cut Inverted ACs, however quality is much better with the Arlen Ness AC....of course, cost more too. Both use K&N element. I am a chrome guy as you can tell.

Your bike looks great with that setup!!! Definitely fits the theme best. Very cool.
Mustang Touring seat, yep it lists for 500 dollars. Sells in the high 300's new. Crazy comfy for short hops or all day long, Biggest difference in ANY bike is the seat, at least as true on Sportsters IMO.
I seem to sit on the tongue of the seat so I'm thinking of getting a 883 seat , your thoughts

Seats don't differ due to the engine, they differ due to the size of the tank. The 4.5 gallon tank is longer than a 3.3 gallon tank, so a seat for a bike with a 4.5 gallon tank is shorter than a seat for a bike with a 3.3 gallon tank.
For a 48, a seat for a bike that had a 3.3 gallon tank would have the smallest gap between the seat and tank. I am not aware of any seats specifically for any bike with the 2.1 gallon tank that would butt up against the tank, but I also have not looked that hard so if someone else knows for certain hopefully they will comment.
