nice look bike ! There is just something about the 48 I love, I couldn't get one because the tank was not practical for my 85 mile commute but they have an awsome look !

When I saw that seat, I thought it was going to be all bad, but then I saw the whole bike and it actually fits with the bike, that seat makes it look tough. Oh ya, and you can say Done for now, but not Finished (unless you are going to sell it tomorrow)
I thought I was done too, but just did the wire tuck and I am going to install indicator lights into my stock top bar clamp (going to be an interesting project) and paint my engine black.

Thanks for the kind words. I had the same fears about the seat....but once it was on I was really happy. I tried having my original seat modified to reduce sliding off the back...but it didnt work...My brother has a spring seat on his 48....but it is just too high for my liking...I thought I would give the mustang a try....I love it.

Ha ha ha ha ..... Your not finished, spend 5 minutes on this forum and you'll have 10 new ideas of things to do to your bike.

Your bike does look great though, you've done a real nice job. I really like the design of the new 48's

Good looking bike, I hope the finances bless me enough to work on my future HD. Start small and work up.

Still good looking bike!
