    UPDATE: Thank you for all the input on the seat. I have acquired Honda GL1500 Valkyrie 97-03 front stock seat. It looks funky and it's huge but it's very comfy for me now. I've fabricated custom bracket to place Honda seat that has plastic base and I had to relocate my ignition module. My next step would be changing and/or raising my handle bar.

        That seat does look comfortable, except for the can of gas strapped on the back.

          That gas can is a temp solution. Hard side cases and rotopax fuel packs are planned along with LED tail light.

            Hi Andy,
            Nice looking seat. Excellent fabrication of a mounting bracket
            As you plan long rides look for a tank off a Standard 5.3 gallons or even the Venturer tank @ 6.3
            Either will fit and take up that gap between seat and Special Tank.

              Heh, but the can will help keep you toasty warm on those rainy rides.
