Default Recent Mods: Minimalist Seat and Midget Headlight

Hey all,

I recently switched my big *** headlight for a 3.5" Lick's, and finally found the perfect seat for me: Cobra King Solo from Old Gold Garage Co. What you are a bout to see is rare: the first picture online of that seat, solo version!

Let me know what you think. Now, that makes my front and rear turn signals look big. How can I relocate the rear turn signals to the top or bottom shock bolt? I'm going to move the front turn signals within the tree.

The headlight:


The seat: God I had a shock when I received the box...the box was tiny and that made happy because I wanted a small seat:

Coming from you, that's an honor! I've waited a while before posting pictures of my bike because I wanted to have done enough mods to it. so that it looks more like "mine"

LOL man - I'm a nobody on here. Many members have MUCH more skill and personalization than me, but thanks! I love this forum and over the years I have learned so much. I'm on here literally 25 times a day. It's even bookmarked on my EVO.

I was looking at Licks site. I have a $67 gift card from xmas burning a hole in my pocket. I checked out the lights as well. I like yours and the black 4 1/2" bobber light. How long was shipping? And did you make your bracket or do they come with one? I guess I can just reuse the one I made. That black one is smaller and then I will give it my signature yellow lens treatment.

My girlfriend would tell you that I am on that forum too many times a day.

It took the headlight about 4-5 business days to arrive. Lick's ships pretty fast. If you need anything particular from them, ask for AJ.

I made my own bracket because the built-in bolt that is attached to the headlight was too short. I went to Home Depot and bought a small piece of metal that had 2 holes and filed the holes to make them bigger (the kind of piece you find in their door/locks isle). I bought an extra 3/8" bolt and nut and voila:

I might switch for metal bungs. What do you think?

Voony- Looks good with the smaller headlight but I kinda agree that in comparison the turn signals look a bit too large and I really dig the lines of that seat. I'm redoing a lot of what I have going on with mine right now and a seat change is in the future.
