Default My Clean 1200C with new seat and bag

Following two serious foot operations I sold my Dyna Fatbob last year having owned it for 3 years despite hand tooling all the leather work.
I wanted a lighter smaller bike so I bought this 2011 Sedona Orange/Black Custom last August which I love to bits. I think it's one of the nicest colour combinations of any bike I've ever owned. The bike is perfect for the mixed riding I enjoy through country lane cruising to day trip journeys. My longest ride so far has been 350 miles in a day on a mixture of roads happily cruising at 70mph.

I've just added the older style 'Le Pera Barebones' seat which I love as I ride solo. Despite the low profile look it's more comfortable than the stock unit and the quality is superb. I like the classic solo style and I think it suits my bike perfectly. I've removed the rear footpegs with mounting brackets which cleans up the look.


Today I've put on the new HD swingarm bag. I'm really pleased with this addition as it is just the right size for the stuff I carry. Originally I was considering saddlebags but am not really a big fan so I started looking at the side bag options. HD finally brought out this version and It's good quality leather (approx 7/8 oz) and well made with a plastic back which fits well to a mounting bracket. It's a decent practical size which will hold a hoody/camera and lightwieght waterproofs and I think it looks great.


Two simple mods but I'm pleased with the look and the ride.

Thanks for the compliments.

The round thing is the UK Road Tax Disc which we have to display by law.
We pay for it yearly.
