    I own several LePera seats (and several different HD's too) every LePera seat I own is on the parts shelf for sale. Good looking seats, but they're the most uncomfortable seats I've tried.

    I love the fact you put dual disk on your sportster. My son just laid his sportster down due to weak brakes. We are trying to figure out how to add dual disk and a 4.5 gallon Breakout tank to his ride.

    • @SaddleTrampTV
      @SaddleTrampTV  4 місяці тому +1

      It'll require some front end mods and a wheel that's accept another another disc. There's a few tank kits out there too.

    My riding days began in 1970 and they continue on Brit bikes, mostly Triumph twins and triples of that time. I have owned a few Harleys, Sportsters mostly. I did once own an FXS80. Anyway my favourite Sportster was an XL1000 of late 70s vintage. I really liked that bike. Sadly it was stolen in the 1980s from outside my flat in London. I wouldn’t say that I prefer it to a Triumph of the same era, but it was fun and I preferred it to the later evo type Sportsters and any the of the big twins.
    Enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for posting.

    Hello from Ukraine. I dream of a Harley EVO, fat boy, about 5 years old, I’ve never seen a Harley, I just watched 1000 the video about harley, and it seems to me that the sound on a sportster is better and there are more vibrations, which motorcycle gives you more drive?) Softail Evo or Sportster Evo 1200?)

    • @SaddleTrampTV
      @SaddleTrampTV  4 місяці тому +1
