I just wanted to give some props here to Duane.... I had hard time restraints because of upcoming military obligations for myself and my Brother Bobby Colella who runs a great shop out of his garage called Cove Custom Cycles (covecustomcycles.com) whom I'm building the bike with. Duane not only met our ridiculous time requirement but also came in with a price that was little more than HALF of what all other seat makers were able to quote me. Duane was a stand up guy, met our time line, did unbelievable work, and was a pleasure to work with as we figured it all out. If you check out the Cove Custom Cycles web page you will see pictures of the bike, and should be updated with the seats snapped into place by Monday at the latest. I will also update the photos on there again after it comes back from paint. He also made an unbelievable passanger seat of a pirate scroll with a pirate code written on it and leather strut covers that lace up and match the seat.... awesome work. Would also like to pimp the craftsmanship and on-off ideas Bobby Colella is throwing out there at Cove Custom Cycles. Bill Conwell gibill34@yahoo.com Cyril,

Vinnie and Cody agreed to use Duane after they saw his work this year at the VTwin Expo. Time ran out during the bike build and they decided to go local. Duane has a great gallery of images at his website showing off his abilities. Highly skilled! Cyril:
