... since I last posted. That's mainly because I'm busy doing other things and if I do get any time to myself, I prefer riding my bike than writing about it.
I still haven't got the interchangeability of my rack and pillion seat sorted. It looks as though I'm going to have to drill another hole in the fender to accept the rear fastener on the pillion seat. I will then probably need to have three retaining nuts fitted as the seat and the rack wont fit in the same rear hole. It seems to be something to do with the shape of the LePera seat which must be different length from the HD brawler one which the pad should fit with. If they are that different then I doubt if the rack would have fitted with the Harley seat, so it's probably just as well that I settled on the LePera.
One thing I was busy with was working at the weekend. This meant I couldn't ride in the bike parade down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh last Sunday. It was part of the 3rd Rifles Homecoming Parade and a bunch of Harley riders had been asked to do it by the Mark Wright Foundation.
Ironically, I was working in Edinburgh, so although I couldn't ride, I did manage to get to the start before they set off. It was good to see (and hear) several hundred Harleys, as well as other bikes, going as a group through the city centre to show respect for our troops home from Afghanistan.
got some pics.

and one of a bike with a really wide front end. It's almost the style which I'd love to eventually have on mine!
