My MODS-Seat, windshield, engine guard, cruise control, etc.

[Easy Rider]

Here is a list of my mods and some pic's.
More details or better (hopefully) pictures on request.
Not shown: 16 tooth front sprocket. Discussed in detail in other threads.

Edit 4/3/09: I can no longer recommend the Memphis Shades, Santa Cruz because of the flimzy mounting system (grommet through holes in shield). Mine cracked when I hit a pothole.

Overview:


Windshield: Memphis Shades, Santa Cruz.
Also another good choice: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1362&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a





Engine Guard: MC Enterprises:
Part # 1000-25. $170. Warning: If you have BIG feet, it might interfere with shifter and rear brake!



Seat mods: TWO gel pads from Pro Pad. Small one for everyday use ($ 72) increases my "cramp" threshold from 20 minutes to about 40. Then add the large one, about $120, (yes, both at once) for long road trips increased my tolerance to about an hour. Both together achieves roughly the same added width and flatter profile that others have achieved by re-upholstering but was more expensive than do-it-yourself. I'm guessing about the same total cost as a professional job.





Cruise control: Really just defeats the throttle return spring. Large O-ring from the hardware store; cost ~ 75 cents. For highway use ONLY. Makes shifting "different"; practice off road a bit. Must STOP to dis-engage.

Cruise OFF:


Cruise ON:


That's about it. The sissy bar and bag supports are OEM. Bags unknown as they came with the bike.
