Yeh I want one of these bikes they are really cool looking. I'm just trying to figure out how to fit and modify the frame for a 120 R engine or JIMS 131 with a six speed. Imagine a 130 hp and 135 ft/lbs of torque in one of those bad boys?

That's why I went to a new seat that had some kick up on the back of it. Theres nothing on the stock seat that will aid in keeping your butt on the bike.

i kinda wish id given the 48 a bit more time (purely on the looks) but i would have had to get a bigger tank aswell ,i travel 60 miles a day to work and back , funny though i changed the seat on the nightster aswell ,that started off o.k and supportive but i found it a bit thin padded , i tested a 48 with a leather HD sprung saddle aswell , that was worse , realy hard and slidey, i dont know how harley test riders pass some of this **** as acceptable or safe ....lol but they do look the bollox
