So it starts: Mod Season - Nightster Edition

[Gas Man]

So to continue the disappearing act of the chrome...

The highway peg brackets gone powder



Then I was looking at the Mustang seat and how it doesn't fit.

So I called on my buddy Seatmaker Scott from www.badassbikeseats.com

The front nose of the seat also needed to be trimmed due to the tank rise. So I figured I'd get a headstart on it.



Have to remove the front & rear brackets, held on by these weird rivits



Then I drilled out all the rivits holding the leather down.


You get this


Nice fiberglass seat pan... sturdy too.


Need this much trimmed off


I sent him the seat and he sent me some swatches... we picked the colors and he did his thing.



Damn it looks good! The colors match perfectly and the silver/black/silver and black/silver/black depending on which way you look at it... works well. Plus it seems cushier (think the leather gives better) and it is definately softer/gripier material.





It's really coming together and I can't wait to get the exhaust on. Just waiting on the ceramic. Bike is really going to look different when we roll it out.
