I like the look of the stock seat and the seats on My 95 had been recovered before I picked it up. The seats on my 87 are in good shape so I got luckyecbaatz wrote:Looking at getting an after market seat, Corbin or Mustang, learning more towards Corbin as I like that they use leather.FallenAngel wrote:Excellentecbaatz wrote:Update, yes I got the torque wrench and have torqued the bolts.
What are your other plans for the bike besides replacing brake lines?
Would like to find a set of floorboards. Or maybe go with some forward controls. The only concern I have with them is the cost and not sure I will like them once installed. Would love to find someone who has a set installed that I could at least sit on to see what it is like.
Also looking for a headlight adapter so I can replace the stock headlight bucket with a larger one to give me more options on lighting. And possibly install some hiway lights.
I have swapped all the bulbs except for the 4 indicator bulbs out for LEDs. Changed the rear turn signals to red for both running and turns. Of course I added the diode modification to get the turn signals to flash at a normal rate. And be able to use LEDs from and rear instead of just rear.
I got a set of stock mufflers to try. I know it is sacrilege but I am not a big fan of loud pipes. I also hope it will help with the vibration in the mirrors. They are inexpensive aftermarket as I broke one of the stock trying to adjust it properly when I just got the bike.
The only other big plan is to ride it as much as possible.
Ill the bikes I sat on that had forward controls felt good But then so did the bikes with flour boards. My Room mates 2017 Shadow Interstate has boards and heal toe shiftier and he loves the Flour boards.
I have a set of forwards controls .and fab a heal toe shiftier,that I picked up from Bronx That I may put on the 87 and a springier front end (I have 2) and a 21" front wheel I got from PrincMo Both members of this forum. I want to get a particular look out of the bike. Im still not apposed to the factory peg location so I may leave the 95 alone.
Both bikes have after market pipes that dump on the right side so Ill be leaving them alone aswell.
As far as lighting goes the more I learn about installing LEDs the more Im leaning towards stock But as the 87 was in such bad shape when I got it and needs a compete tear down to frame and I do have a set of LEDs I got from Bronx I may put them on the 87
Both Bronx and Prinemo are good people and I have talked to both on the phone and consider them both friends Both post parts on this forum.
