Forward Thinking Comfort

Ever wish you had more control of your bike, maybe a different seat to plant you better?
Well now you can take control of your ride!  Mustang’s new Wide TripperTM Forward Solo moves you 1.5” forward for ease of reaching handlebar and foot controls.  The 13” wide solo supports the rider at the correct seating angle for long-distance riding comfort on 2006-12 Dyna® models.
Mustang’s Wide Tripper Forward Solo is only $259; the matching 10.5” wide rear seat is $159.  Forward Solos are also available in a distressed brown, worn-leather look; additional options include a unique diamond stitched pattern and an adjustable, removable driver backrest.
Mustang seats for Metric Cruisers and H-D® models are all proudly handcrafted in the USA.  For more info, visit MustangSeats.com or call 800-243-1392.

Meet the 2012 Ultimate Biker Makeover Winner Marilyn Elmore Bragg

Marilyn has been down on her luck after she decided to stop working to be a full time caretaker for her mother. It’s been tough for her to make ends meet and has been riding her 1993 XL 1200 since 2004. With over 193,000 miles on the bike she finds herself “making due” with the simplest of things to keep the bike on the road. New riding gear is way far down on her list of necessities. She was hoping this contest could help her obtain some parts and gear she is in dire need of to stay on the road, which she attributes to the only thing that gives her a sense of enjoyment these days.
Marilyn will be getting hooked up with…new riding Jacket and Gloves from Hot Leathers, a wardrobe of shoes from HD Footwear boots, a cleaning kit from Wizards Products, a case of Synthetic oil from Spectro Oils, and a technology case from Otterbox, a set of AVON Tires, a Mustang Motorcycle seat, a set of shocks from Progressive suspension, and exhaust wrap along with other goodies from DEI.
Thank you to all who submitted their stories and stay tuned for more contests from garage-girls for chances to win great prizes.
