I did have to mention the springer seat. (your future mods) i take it you mean the brown leather one from HD? I tried to get her to go for that but she didn't like it. I love the look of that seat.
what is the tank rise kit? does it lift the tank some?

I have a feeling I'm going to be busy this winter once she gets started with the "I want this on my bike" thing. LOL

HD doesn't make a springer seat for her 2009, due to the ecm location. I found a company that makes one and relocated the ecm slightly. Just more pricey. And I'm not sure what we'll do for the seat.

Tank rise... it raises the front of the gas tank (~2") to expose the top of the motor and the backbone slightly.

You can buy brackets for about $50

Or you can do somin cooler

Pretty simplistic either way...

Not exactly.. impossible with all the EFI wires and such. Plus I want to keep it realiable and rideable.
