For those considering the police air ride seat, I can tell you that it raises the rider significantly. I'm 5'8" with a 30" inseam and can flat foot my bike with the stock seat; however, when I installed the air ride seat, the height was such that the bike became unsafe for me to ride. The seat is super comfy, but it's not for short-leggers.

Looking at that seat rail (V-Twin Mfg Part #s 31-0461 Black Mount Kit & 31-0507 Seat Handrail), I wish there was a way for me to make it work. I settled on a heated corbin classic, with seat rail, and back rest.

That seat looks so sweet with the rail!

You can also go with the shorter turn signal bar. I know there's a couple of us in this thread that have it. Check my album pics, it's a couple inches narrower than the stock bar, but keeps that '64 and up bar look.

I'll go +1 on the shortened bar. Did that on mine and it's amazing the difference to me, without any kind of mods to the rear end just a shorter bar!

It really does clean the rear end up nicely!

Great looking bike, Rod!! I've almost pulled the trigger on a MetalArts horn but something keeps holding me back...maybe it was some of the earlier versions that weren't holding together. How is yours holding up?
