profiler tattoo installed, other stuff (big pics) - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

So my profiler came today, and I went with the leather and flamed stitching (the tattoo style). Pics:

This thing looks looooooooow. As well it should. I actually had to move my PCIII box forward a bit so that it wouldn't get squished, the pan is that low. Construction is superior to OEM, by a lot. This thing is really well made, and the leather feels great to the touch.

Flames. The stitching looks really nice, not too over the top at all.

I know someone asked about whether the frame rails peeked out a lot, and they really don't. IN the last pic and this one, you can see they blend real well with the seat structure. You can also see the new iso wings I installed in this shot. I love my switchblades (available, PM me) but I have really wide feet and really long legs, so I needed some more surface area.

Okay...inital impressions...
Frizzy mentioned that his profiler felt "hard". Mine's not. Its a nice squishy feeling, very supportive, but not hard at all. My only thought is that its the difference between the saddlehyde and the leather maybe. Maybe the saddlehyde is wrapped abit tighter, and the leather has some more "give".

Loads of lower back support, and a great seating position. Its definately lower than my oem gel, (which was a good inch lower than stock) and it sits just a tick further back. Sitting on it, I'm real comfy. I'm doing some serious mileage this weekend, so more reports after its broken in. The one thing that suprised the heck out of me, is side by side, the passenger pillion isn't that much narrower than the oem gel pillion. Its not as thick, but its not a whole lot skinnier.

Oh...my wife bought me the candy blue hypercharger insert and butterflies for fathers day, and I got those installed tonight too...
(I looove this shot)

its a little lighter than the blue paint, but its a lot closer than it looks in the pics. I love the color, and I'm actually debating a single pinstripe on the bottom of the tank where the welded seam is to match the new color. Overall, a nice little piece of eye candy. She takes such good care of me.
