V E R Y nice!, I almost went with that color myself. What seat did you add??
 
I am interested in the seat too. I think the HD website shows about 3 different ones that are reduced reach. How much closer to the handlebars did this one put you and how much difference did it make to the overall fit? It also looks like your passenger is going to be more comfy too. Thanks in advance.
 
It does put you closer to the handlebars but not uncomfortable. The passenger "pillow" is the part I don't like. I think it takes away from the sleek look of the bike.
What I do like is I have more control over the bike when I'm stopping or at a complete stop with more of my boot on the ground. The other seat I tried was the HD extra reduced reach. You are a lot lower and your balls are banging on the tank.
 
Thanks for the info. I am 5'9 but the handlebars seem a little bit of a reach for me and I think I may get fatigued on a long 400 mile day. I have no problem at all reaching the ground so I thought the reduced reach seat (one like you got, not extra reduced) might help with that. I too think it takes away though from the looks of the bike. Problem is the wife is not going to like the stock seat... good thing she does not ride much!! I think I will keep the original seat and maybe, just maybe consider reduced reach bars.
 
Good Looking Bike, I like that color but live down a gravel road so I had to stay in the light colors to stay saine
