    Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've posted, work has kept me busy and away from riding for most of the past year... After the new-year, I was able to buy a seat kit from Blue Collar Bobbers, and along with a DIY tail light and license plate mount, got it installed on my bike. I plan to...
