That's a sweet Ghostrider. The seat you have is the Brooks 190 I believe that seems to be the seat I see the most on bikes here. I have been considering the same seat but they sure are pricy are they really comfortable seats, the stock one on mine has to go but I want to get the best seat I can that looks good but is very comfortable on longer rides.

It is indeed a Brooks B190 & it is very comfy. I chose it because it is heavily sprung, which is perfect for riders over 200 lbs. The Brooks B33 is also heavily sprung & unlike the B190, it comes in brown as well as black.

In my opinion Brooks saddles are the best. That being said they are not for everyone, so do your research before dropping coinage on one.

Here is a pic of my Ghostrider after UPS dropped off a few new goodies for me. A new Brooks B190 some Electra TT bars a skull bell and valve caps and some new ergo grips. I have some new platform pedals coming and a leather saddle bag. The UPS guy knows me by name now.

Thanks BillyZ, its partly your fault I had to go out and spend a bunch more money after I saw how sweet your Ghostrider looked I just had to upgrade mine. Did your brooks seat squeak at all. Mine made some noise till I put a little WD-40 on the springs and connections and now its quite as can be. I have only ridden it around my Parking lot so far but it seems much better but I will see tomorrow once the streets dry up.
Did the kick stand you have come on your bike it looks a lot better than what mine came with, I took mine off I was afraid the bike was going to fall over it leaned way to much I felt. If that is a different kick stand where did you get it.
 
Very cool upgrades!!!!
Diggin the bars!

Thanks I had to sell my knife collection to pay for all the goodies but it was worth it I will get more use from the bike than I would sitting there looking at the knife collection. This might have been a bad idea every time I see something on some one else's bike I want it for mine.
 
Picked up my wife an Electra Black Betty. The wife needed a bike and it was too good of a deal to pass up. She loves it.

It's had some extra stuff done to it...

My Rockabilly Boogy with max lowered frontfork.

Powdercoated the fork legs again, because bare metal doesn't work in The Netherlands.

The fork is lowered 45 mm and the v-brake mounts are grinded of.
