    Here's a vid of mine with the rear seat cowling fitted - I'm 99% sure you should have gotten one in Australia too - so you should call your dealer right away to make sure you get it. Enjoy your new bike!
    Edit: make sure you also get the two little painted covers that cover where the rear grab rails go - it comes with those too.

    WTF - they sold you the bike with the passenger seat on and no grab rails for the passenger to hold on to!?! That seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen - lol.

    Anyway, you will love the rear cowl - it not only looks great but it's hollowed out underneath so you can fit a lot more stuff underneath than with the rear seat in place - including a cheeseburger and fries as seen at the end of this vid :glee:

    Gee thanks lol. I feel a bit like big bird riding around with those yellow lights poking up so high - and from what I've read on this forum it won't be an easy thing to just swap them for white because they're embedded in the mirror housing. I wonder if there's a fuse or wire I can just pull to turn them off.

    I think it was $239 - which seems fairly reasonable - I'm hoping it will be loud enough to scare some of the Harley dudes in my area lol

    I couldn't imagine having to put up with the amber lights is it a American law or something
