    Sweet solo Sissybar.

    Check the last 8 of your VIN I think you have a very custom Black Widow. The fork length and the tank are the tells… If it’s 819 that’s a very late ’06 bike. I like your seat better… but it originally looked like this:
    BlackWidow-116819

    [5R116819] My wingman, the previous owner, added the sissy bar and I later switched out the apes for drags. The saddle is OEM, at least, that’s the way it was dressed on the showroom floor. Funny thing though, it’s titled as an 05. Hmmm…

    Pretty much a dead ringer for the pic you posted, except for the springed saddle.

    That’s a great pic! The number before the R in the VIN tells you the year. As far as how it’s titled… who knows… DMV’s like to do their own thing.

    Stephen, please clarify: “Check the last 8 of your VIN, I think you have a very custom Black Widow. …If it’s 819 that’s a very late ’06 bike.” I’m holding [5R116819] so am I riding an 05 Teacher or an 06 BW?

    Looks like we are both 1/2 right… It’s an 05 Widow:

    Capture_109

    From the option sheet, it also indicates you are correct the seat is the original factory seat. Looks like we shot pics of it with both seats… and here it is:
