I am going to order one soon. My only concern is I have a 140/90/15 on the back and it says you have to stay with the 140/80/15. will it be ok with the 140/90? How is the seat comfort compared to stock?

Any other good articles out there that describe how to mount the rear fender mount a new seat.

IF I can ever get around to it,I'm going to try and get a kit together or individual parts with different options.They're not hard to do,I know some guys live in apts.and such that can't fab parts.I'll probably even be able to paint the parts to match,so it'll be a bolt on and ride....done.I've done a couple of fenders for guys on here already.

I had the rebel kit for my last bike and loved it! good folk there,everything fit perfect. It was great,people would walk around it and try to figure out what it was.

I have to agree with the looks of the seat. It's nice that it all bolts on without having to cut anything, but think it just looks "clunky" almost.

I've been debating about how to handle my rear fender braces and asked if they would sell those alone. They said they normally don't, but would make an exception. I need to give them a buzz about that still.

RTC,
I just took off my rear fender and relocated my solenoid and rectifier. I thought I could figure out a way to make the stock tail light and signals work but I can't. I was thinking about buying the rear light and signal kit from BCB but I don't want the whole bobber kit. Do you think the those lights would work with the stock seat or are those lights just made to work with BCB's seat kit?

RTC...you might be able to make the rear signals fit but the rear taillight will def need some sort of bracket to mount. its basically a knock off of a 1931 ford model A taillight. BCB does a great job in making a bracket to hold both the signals and tail light. i saved some money and got the actual lights on ebay and just bought the seat bracket from them

Does The bcb seat come with a spot to mount the rectifier and solenoid? How much was it?

the kit is $700 for the seat bracket, seat, licence plate mount and rear fender. you can buy the pieces sepretly, id give them a call to work that out. the solenoid mounts very nicely to the seat bracket but i didnt like the small bracket to mount the recifier on the battery box. first you have to drill the bat box to mount the rect and it doesnt look very clean. i yanked the airbox and side covers out and mounted the rect to the fram in the back and use a cone filter. as pricey as the kit may seem, the quality is excellent.
