Hi bro,do you still have the front fender?

@barrybarnes96 3 года назад

can't see how those seat shocks can possibly dampen on the axis that they are on. a couple of short vertical springs would work better wouldn't it?

@rugfixr 3 года назад

Yeah, they dampen nothing. That's how the seat base came set up. I'm sure if you're mechanically inclined you could improve it. I wasn't worried too much about dampening as I was the aesthetic

@georgecostanza2695 5 лет назад

One of the hottest 48's I've seen! I think a skinnier front wheel would really complete the look.

@jasper9581 4 года назад

I'm in love with this seat... i went to mother roads customs to find this seat. . do you know what the name of this seat is or have the model number. .any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks man.

@rugfixr 4 года назад

They have several that look the same. It is the red and black distressed leather. Here's some information from an email chain I had with them. I hope this helps.. " Spring Barrel Mounting Kit with all hardware included $199 10x13 Seat in Black and Red Distressed for $169 Gel Upgrade $99 Total is $467"

@jasper9581 4 года назад

@@rugfixr hey thanks for the quick reply... pretty cool of you.. so how happy are you with this seat..? Not that I'm gonna bug you to death and not go away.. but almost 500 into this seat begs the question.. if you had it to do over again.. would ya?

@massitux2072 5 лет назад

Hello, compliments ! Very beautifull mods! But, it's possible to know, where you have to buy shock absorbers for the saddle? Thnaks, Massimiliano.

@rugfixr 5 лет назад

Mother Road Customs is where I got the seat and the coil-over shock mounting kit motherroadcustoms.com/4-Coil-Over-Shock-Absorber-motorcycle-seat-springs-chopper-harley-sportster-BPC-P5909572.aspx

@69FOSTER 3 года назад

Looks and sounds great! Gives me some ideas for my 2018 Sportster 48. I love the color of that seat and passenger pad, gorgeous! I didn't notice if there were passenger footpegs. What tuner does the 48 have for the pipes and air cleaner?

@rugfixr 3 года назад

No passenger pegs. Made this for one-up. Screaming Eagle tuner w/ stage 1

@69FOSTER 3 года назад

@@rugfixr Thank you so much for answering questions I had for my stock Sportster 48! I have Vance & Hines slip-ons which have not been installed. Wasn't sure if a Screaming Eagle tuner would work with V&H exhaust, but from this video, it's obvious that it would work. Probably better for me since I could take my 48 to a Harley dealer to have the stage 1 done there and take the guess work out for myself. Thanks you!

@slayer04031974 3 года назад

I'm guessing that seat is rough on your back more than hour riding? My next investment is replacing the seat on my 99' XLH 1200. I'm leaning towards a Mustang with high rise back support.

@rugfixr 3 года назад

It's made with a gel pad insert, and it form fits more or less, for a surprisingly comfortable ride. I experienced no back issues after an hour.

@slayer04031974 3 года назад

@markgiles5426 4 года назад

So the seat isn’t comfortable??? I was really wanting something like that. Really cool looking bike sir

@rugfixr 4 года назад

Actually the seat is very comfortable. The coil over shock under the seat though doesn't give you any comfort over the bumps. It's more for show

@markgiles5426 4 года назад

Scott thank you sir for info stay safe

@frankiefigzz1 5 лет назад

@USMC_LAterZ 6 лет назад

Digging the seat upgrade. How's the comfort level? I hate my stock XL1200V seats, which I believe is the same on the 48?

@rugfixr 6 лет назад

Zero Comfort level if you're riding longer than 1 hour. Before then its perfect. I just ride it like a horse; always staying a little off the saddle - letting my legs be the shock absorbers. But that's what I love about this bike; It's raw and attaches you to the pavement where you feel every ripple and are connected with every second you ride

@joeramirez3350 6 лет назад

Scott Hasty get rid of shocks, switch to the ridged struts. Then you will really feel the road.

@michaelsmith1094 5 лет назад

Better than that,cut the frame and weld on a hard tail.

@davincichannel9290 3 года назад

hello, please tell me what is the length of the seat shock absorbers along the holes and what kind of load are they designed for?

@rugfixr 3 года назад

You'd have to check with mother road customs for the loads, as I never worried about that. They're pretty rigid and really give no shock absorption. I'm not sure of the exact length. I have sold the bike so I can't go out and measure it. Mother Road might be able to help you if they're still open

How good are the Burly apes? Are they made from thick walled tubing like the Biltwell which are made from .120" chromoly?

Extremely sturdy bars. Not sure of the exact thickness. Tighten them a little past torque or they may slip a bit

Is your seat a weld on?

No the seat is bolted on. Through Mother Road you'll buy the seat mount and then whatever seat you want.
