I've got a new trailer for my 18' Sportster. I'm in a dilemna on how the bunks should be. The new trailer has the bunks vertical. I will adjust to make sure the hull doesn't bottom out on the trailer rails. But I'm a little concerned that with the bunks vertical there is very little contact...

Looking for a few misc used parts, preferably in florida

I thought he was a little out of line. It seems this guy was going to make it from scratch, maybe thats why his price was high. Is there somebody online (or in south florida) that can just do the complete kits?

1998 sportster 1800 Okay so the seats are in REAL BAD SHAPE. Vinyl is shot. I think the worst part is the foam needs to be replaced in a few of the seats as well. I recieved a qoute for $1400. This seems like a lot compared to what ive heard others have paid. Im not looking for anything...
