@edub: Tuffside Seat with upswept tail and rear band stitching.
https://www.tuffside.com/2-Tone-Universal-Brat-Seats-p/tuff_uni_flatseat.htm@Gary: I went down a rabbit hole on the connectors and naming...long story short, the aviators are recent chinese design (withholding comment) adopted by folks here doing custom usb cable design. They've worked well for me so far.
Update: Not much progress. I actually went backwards some. I made an aluminum plate with a mount for the connectors and it works great. The issue was I got too excited and didn't double check everything before going out for a ride. The new license plate mount didn't have enough clearance with all the travel the new rear shocks provide, and I hadn't gotten locknuts for the screws holding it. Mid ride I heard something and looked down. The mount was dangling right above the tire from the electric cable. Pulled over, disconnected electrical using the trusty new aViAtOr ConNeCtoR
and came on home. I ended up heating up the aluminum bar stock I used for the mount and bending it to get the extra clearance. Put it back together, turned the key and saw smoke come out of the license plate light. I should have check the connection to the light after the stressed from dangling. The wires were stripped and shorted out. No license plate light atm.
on the bright side, I love the bike. It's really fun to ride and I can't wait until I can get the rearsets on.
Brake line this weekend, rear wheel gets here next Friday. May enjoy it/ride it some before trying the rearsets. Replace the tires and put on rear wheel and do rear sets in a few months.
The only question I have today...could I have screwed something up when swapping the front springs over to the racetech springs? They're stiff as can be and almost hurts to go over railroad tracks. I put the right amount of fork oil and cut spacers as directed.
