Looks a lot better sitting on your bike rather than in my garage. Glad it worked out for you.

Updating:

thanks to help and suggestions from Reid, I have done a variation on his air tank mount.

I recently got some hand adjustables and removed my air shocks and hoses etc.

I realized i could put some of the take off to use- everything I used was stuff I had at home incl a 1/8 FIP coupler.

test ride is great "proof of concept" I'll tidy up and paint the air tank- I don;t have a gauge as I'll be using my little shock pump:






Thanks Reid!

Mike

Is that the road north out of Kayenta? I have a similar picture somewhere taken before digital cameras became common.


I bought a police seat for my 2010 RKC but I didn't like it. I'd give it away to somebody local around Hot Springs, AR. It sat much too tall.

Sits you up a bit higher, wider seat in the rear, and the air spring. I miss my '07 FLHTP, my '10 Limited is nice but the seat, just lacks in comfort for me. Not sure what it is. The cop bike I could go for hours without fatigue, just can't find my stock limited seat comfortable for over 4 hours. I'm thinking of having a guy local to me customize it with memory foam and some other wizardry he does.

thanks for answering. i had problems with seats. i had tailbone problems after about an hour. i have had an ultimate, a mustang and finally bought a day long by russell. its fugly but is a great seat. i think it does similar positioning and is wider than most seats spreading the weight out a bit more. heard that they made a lot of cop seats. i can ride 450 miles with no problems. i'll never have another seat. if i get a new bike the mustang goes with the old bike and the day long gets put on the new one if it fits. if not, i'll sell it and use the money towards a new one.
