Here is where the "swings both ways" comes in. The BTR configuration is a torture rack. NOT KIDDING. ITs fun but the couple between bar grips and saddle it too short and while fun to go tearing around the neighborhood; anything more than 2-3 miles leaves me all crippled up. SO! Back come the tiller bars and a nice sprung Brooks saddle! The hard bit of swapping over is the cable routing and throttle cable hook up. Cant get my fat fingers in there to do the job properly so I have to use hemostats, needle nose pliers and lots O curse words. Takes about 2 hours. BUT its WAY more comfortable and still has that old timey twang Carbide lamp restored and converted to 12v battery in the bag and a LED lamp. Different but still vintage kill switch and coke bottle grips. Nice and comfy for longer rides and more relaxed. I dont feel I have to go WOT all the time with this setup. One clevis pin pulled and the saddle and seat post come out!
