Ditched the crappy short shots and RSD slant, went back to my first exhaust I bought that worked the best. I keep changing my exhausts I can do it in like 15 mins haha. Now I just need smaller mirrors

Yep. Took about 5 weeks to make to the options I wanted. Superrrrrr squishy comfy on my tush. Basically like a "48" seat but not as big. Tell them you want the 82 - 03 version for the 04+ and he will make it.

Thanks, it's this one right?

Fits no problem on a 2013? Did you chose all the upgrades too ... thinking of going with the grey stitching, no idea if it is really noticeable though.

I wonder if they diamond pleated pillion pad like the 48's pillion to go with that seat .... that would be sweet!

Yep that's it, BUT.. you need to tell them what year your bike is. 82' - 03' isn't interchangeable with 04+. My bike is a 2013

I chose memory foam, full leather, grey colored stitching, diamond pleated. The leather is really nice soft quality. Like high end Mercedes. It should fit the pad, it mounts in the same spot as the 48

No need for a fuel pak unless you upgrade your air filter.
Some xied leads wouldn't do any harm for you ride

When I fitted short shots I went with the fuel pak and V&S air cleaner. Bike had aquite a flat spot in second going up to peak RPM, bad flat spot, it actually cut out. The short shots with regular baffles are VERY loud so I went and fitted quiet baffles. Well the flat spot cutting out problem is gone and my hearing will be preserved a bit longer. Try the short shots as is but pretty sure you will need some sort of fuel enrichment if you have in the loud open baffles.

Just bought my first Harley. 2013 Iron Candy Orange. I already flipped the mirrors and went with buckshot heat sheats on the pipes. I will try to get a pic up here soon. I am looking for a solo seat that will puch me back a little further than the stock one though. I like that sicksaddles seat... how is the fit compared to stock.
