I removed the sissy bar & replaced stock seat with a Corbin Gunfighter so I cut, shaped & painted a piece of aluminum for a trim plate for the rear mounting tab/bolt.

That really looks good. Nice job of hiding the mounting strap. It isn't easy to make something like that symmetrical.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

That looks nice. What did you do with the wiring and relays that are under the stock seat ?

Hey you got the same back tyre as I have and I live in Thailand.

It was the cheapest I could get [emoji2] about 80 dollar ?. Ive had it on for about 4 years and seems ok to me.

Ok back on topic.

Thanks. All the wiring & relays are still under the Corbin seat. The seat pan is shaped close to the original.
