Welcome to the forum.
That's a nice looking bike - what kind of seat is that ?

I have no idea just rode the bike for the first time today Ill have to take the seat off and look.
First ride in years on an RT ( only test rides before )
Its for sure the biggest and most relaxed ( riding position ) bike I have ever owned.
First impressions,  surprising quick and even better torque than I would have imagined.
I am used to a more forward leaning riding position so its going to take me a bit to get used to tossing this into corner. felling like a newbie fumbling for the turn signal cancel button and two handed tuen signals.
strange a low speed at the moment I will get over that with some time in the saddle, haven't felt the need in years to practice but this bike is a different world for me.
Nice a speed and high speed corners.
Surprised that I am liking the damping softer than I would have thought need to get it on some of my special roads to see , Cant wait

Ho Ho enjoy my friend it will only get better !!!! welcome to the forum. ^-^

Well I finally figured out how to get the seats off  :beee:  ( tough being a newbie to a brand ) turns out the seat is a Rick Meyer seat, it is very comfortable but it does not seem to be able to adjust it only fits on the low position but the seat is tall so its like being in the tall position and little wide at the front so its a bit on the tall side for me, think it will be OK with my boots on tho
Funny reading all the horror stories about Rick Meyer
