Hi MarkyDOS.
Ken is coming although I believe they are bunking up elsewhere in the zone.
Kubbers was the one that couldn't make it this year............

Mornin, Woods,Woodettes and lurkers. Off to shop for a wading pool for the upcoming first birthday weekend bash. Will also be seat shopping for the bike. One of the hold down brackets has separated from the seat base.

I'm all in for seat recommendations, guys. Any experience with one like this?

I have the Mustang Regal on Ol' Blue Mick, although mine doesn't look exactly like that. Took a long time to get broken in, but seems to be a decent seat. I do still use a cushion of some sort (Air Hawk) on the long hauls..

Well I can't tell you how it would work on your scooter but I have one on my 1979 FXEF and it's great for me ( and I have 5 gallon Fat Bob tanks too ) ... Not so much for "Red" .
I got it at a Swap Meet though so I'm not going to tell you what I paid for it Mick.

I paid about $600 for this one with the back rest.



Man it seemed like it was hard as a freakin' rock when I first got it. It had to be close to 4k miles before it really started feeling broken in.

Try looking at these. I've had them on 3 of my bikes. Just did a 3 days 900 mile trip last weekend and comfortable the whole way.
