Yeah, my best friend Joe is an amazing fabricator - he removed the end cap and welded it BACK ONTO the cut piece, so it looks super clean and super stock lol

Here is a quick video so you can hear what it sounds like...

and so you know, the way it sounds in the video is EXACTLY how it sounds in person 👏🏼😏

Nothing like starting off the day with a good exhaust video! Sounds fantastic!

Great looking seat! I hadn't heard that name before.
How do you like it? Compared to a "normal seat"?
Better than stock. Not sure v. Corbin or Mustang as I never used those.
Everything about the seat, from the thickness of the leather (like a horse saddle!) to the hardware reflects German engineering and quality. They have different options for padding. i got the max which was ~1". That in combination with the springs is relatively comfortable, although most of my riding is an hour or two at a time.

Alex seats are very great quality at a fantastic price point with tons and tons of options and quick shipping too considering they come from Germany! Did an install and closeup look at one on a buddy's bike a while ago.

I'm interested in the center of tank decal. It looks pretty darn sharp.

Could you please take a picture of the full look and let me know where you got it.
Looks like this decal is from Moore Speed racing

Bought my Bobber last Saturday, and I noticed that it still had the sticker on the gas tank. So today, I removed the sticker with goo gone, which worked great. Made it messy, so I washed the bike. Then noticed there were some small scratches and swirl marks, so I polished those out, applied some paint sealant and the waxed it. View attachment 638837 View attachment 638838
Now that you are in "peel-off" mode, time to take off those front fork reflectors. Looks like you already took off the rear reflector.

After I removed my fork reflectors, I thought the forks looked too bare. So I painted what I call "warpaint stripes" on them. I ended up doing this on a couple other locations on the bike as well.

JustinScout, did you do a swap out on your throttle body cover or was that stock in 2017?
If it was a swap, is it as easy as a new cover and mounting bracket? The 1901 cover definitely has its mounting screws in a different place that the 2021 “2 bars and a bolt” one.

No swap out, that is the way it came stock.
