In case your wondering, "Bass Boat" became it's name due to the deep metal flake paint job.
I have several 2006, 2007, and 2008 Sport Classics for sale and would be happy to discuss building something like this for you.

I think because they used the race fairing without the cut-out for the headlight, they used auxiliary light mounts and mounted the headlights outboard.
My question is - who made that seat? What are the details? It looks like it is roomier than the stocker.

to answer your questions,
The seat is some of the stock foam wraped in a goat skin cover. We had trouble attaching to the DP race seat and decided that adding the diamond tufting would help hold it on.
The fog lights and the LED tail light and license plate mount were added to make my track bike semi street legal. I wouldn't ride around in a city on this bike, too loud, and the suspension is best on the track. I wanted to be able to use it on our middle of nowhere oregon roads ocassonally. Also, at the time I built it, thunderhill was my track of choice (5 hours away) and I wanted to be able to tune and adjust it before trailering for 5 hours and having set up time dig into my track time. Now that ORP is open I do not need to use the lights.
Cool thing about my light mounts is the unbolt and unplug in like 5 minutes. The lights are by Saeng and put out a lot of light (a night track day would even be ok with them) the rear is a Husqvarna LED tail light. No signals on it so it is only semi street legal.
I should post a pic in the sun. The plan was just to paint it red, but when I went to our paint shop (they do a lot of choppers) they showed me this new two stage metal flake stuff that looks just like an expensive multi stage candy job but costs the same as normal paint. When they pointed out that it also hides scratches and touch up work better than plain red, I went for it.
I the the color "I bleed Ducati Red"
The name bass boat came from the fact that most bass boats have metal flake paint and lots of power. It also may be a reference to all people from Central Oregon being rednecks but the fact is that most are hippys and prefer to fly fish for trout in a creek rather than chase bass with a boat.

That's a beautiful bike. I'd love to see how the paint looks in the sun.
FWIW: Metal-flake painted bass boats are big in this part of the country also.
