    Been watching some threads so decided to join up.
    Currently have a 2018 Speedmaster, which is having a few mods to suit my shape and riding style. Will post details when all done, which hopefully may assist others on the forum.
    Best to all, FLR.

    Thanks to all for welcome. Will post details of mods when done, but will be a while due to new hip. (The joys of rugby/racing in younger years!!) Best to all.

    Welcome to the Family. Don't forget to drop us all a picture of the Steed before and after would be nice. Keeps the inmates happy while Nursey medicates us.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.

    Have just got seats back from Saddlecraft. Top job. Rider's seat is 2" higher and pillion widened. Both have big gel inserts. Opted for red stitching (practical) and put red levers on to add a bit more.
    Lifted bars by 3 1/2" which did not need any mods to cables/brake lines. Changed beach bars to Thunderbird bars as they made my wrists ache and fingers go numb. Straighter Thunderbird bars suit me much better.
    Footrests were changed for the bobber mid-position, which are a straight fit.
    Next mod will be small rack to replace pillion seat, as required.
    Now the hard bit, will try to upload pics. My computer skills are simply zero!!
