New seat and ignition relocation

I switched the seat from the stock one which was both outrageously uncomfortable and not very good at keeping your ass down when on the throttle. I wanted to get a sprung saddle and the H-D spring saddle was a little expensive. I went with a Rich Phillips saddle from http://www.bikersaddles.com/shop/index.php. Theres a lot of handmade goodness there, and the quality of both the seat and the seat pan are top notch.

DK Custom made the tank lift brackets, and ignition and coil relocation kit. You can see that at http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/Coil-Key-Relocation_c8.htm. It might be a little pricey for basically just a bracket, but its well made and it fits nicely.

The wire tuck/tank lift makes a big difference and cleans things up a lot.

Tank lift gives that nice gap under the tank to see through
