2006 AE Flicker with Bill Mayer Saddles, Doug Hines Risers & Cal-Sci +2.5" windshield

[turbodave_98]

Already like the Bill Mayer leather saddle after only one 150mile initial ride. Great farkle, IMHO!

Dave !!

Wonky's gonna be real jealous when she catches sight of that seat -

Looks like I'm gonna have to spend some more to keep her happy . .. . :blink:

Got some specs? like - $$, ride in experience, etc., ?

And is that a Sahara vest you're wearing?

Dang TD, looks good.

That seat looks like you sit into it rather than slide forward on it. What say ye?

Oh and one more question if ya don't mind: Do they use the OEM pan or provide their own?

+1 on a Bill Mayer seat

Seat looks good on Flicker!

Here is my ride-in experience

They use the OEM pan. Took me 5 hours in & out

Hey ptracks,

Thanks for the reply on the OEM issue and the link to the thread about your seat. Good photos. They speak for themselves. I particularly like the 3rd one from the top. It reveals a depth to the saddle. Makes it look like a good sitting position from which one wouldn’t slide forward.

Dave,

Any chance we can get a few closeups of the seat? How much did it run you? Built on the stock seat pan? Details please!

Dog gone it thanks! I told the technician that I wanted to feel like I sit in the bike rather than on it. thats how he modified the shape to the front and rear pans that came with my bike. Hope this helps.

Very nice TD -- I likee

How do you like the Cal-Sci 2.5" screen?

It is much better at protection than the OEM unit. I personally bought it for the shape of the screen. I am 5"9" with a 35 inch sleeve length and the screen that is +2.5" taller than OEM works fine for me. I have no buffet of the head when the screen is in the retracted position. When completely raised, there is very little buffet or noise. all in all, its working swell for me. hope this helps.

Ali, Prices vary between 450-650 depending on vinyl leather solo or pillion plus a heated option. They use the bikes seat pans.

Thanks TD!

Did you use your stock seat pan or did you order extras? If you ordered extras how did the parts show up?

I had the seat modification done on a ride in to the shop. My extra was leather vice vinyl. I did not order any other extras. Yep they use both original seat pans.

Hey Skyway, such an honor, your 1500th post here was to ole TurboDave!! I am flattered.

It would take too much time and space to let you know all the farkles I have on "Flicker" Want to surprise you at WFO-5. The list is long and growing daily<LOL> :clapping:
