    Re: Chopper build

    Looks like what a Harley Davidson Chopper Standard would look like it they made one. Being a big believer in plain and simple, and a Electraglide Standard lover, I am liking that bike. Nice work....... again, Relic.
    It makes a sad statement when simply doing the right thing makes a person into a hero; it makes a sadder one still when it makes them into a criminal.

    With no offense meant to Scoobie, the H-D seat is lame in comparison. I bought one when they first came out and returned it on the "annual dealer return program".

    That seat has what it takes to be ridable. The friggin' factory seat is as comfortable as a rolled up T-shirt.

    Run 'em as ya brung 'em.

    Scooby... Thanks for the seat idea, I may just do that. I like Retro. Is that an HD seat?)
    Yes the seat is a genuine harley replacement for the seat you already have and will bolt directly to your sissy bar

    Retro King/Queen Seat for SoftailŽ Models

    Take a ride back in time on this 1960's style King/Queen Seat. Featuring a highly stylized tuck-n-roll pleated surface, this retro looking seat will bring back memories of riding free. The low and lean two-up seat profile hugs the frame and rear fender like no other. Your passenger will benefit from a longer pillion and a built-in backrest pad. Seat width 13.0"; pillion width 7.0"

    None taken if the bike was to keep I would agree with you but relic did say he intended to sell the bike and I was just offering an alternitive Idea that in my opinion would suit the lines of the bike

    I have a 08 softail custom with the same seat as relic's present one I went with a badlander seat same as the seat on a night train and I also bought the back rest pad so I can change seats if I am going on a 400k - 500k ride with the other half it only takes 5 mins
