bike is coming along great! Have you ran into any problems that you could have headed off. The insight would be useful to alot of us.
only 1 or 2
1. for a true drag bar it has to be at least a 4.5in riser
2. when going to this type of bar you will need shorter cables.
the rest is just minor easy bolt on or easly fabbed.
im thinking about compleatly redoing the tank and fenders as well but we will see.

Re:back to basics build thread 4 Years, 3 Months ago  
i was asked about my seat VIA a PM the seat is slightly uncomfortable at first but after afew rides the conformed to my big arsss 5.10" 255lbs if you a smaller rider it would be even better.

the seat sells from $95.00 $120.00 on ebay i bought it through demon cycles i have had good repore with them.

WARNNING the seat will require modifiying the rear and forward flange to function properly AKA like the stock one. its an easy mod. in some cases its to long and otthers its to tall. nothing a little bend and cut cant fix. the seat apears to be a good product and it comes in leather. and maybe pleather

here is the store look for roadstar solo
