F6B riding position vs Vic Cross Country

[stroguy]

The Mustang seat sits you back and lower. It gives me the sitting in the bike feeling you desire. When I installed my Mustang, I thought I might need risers for the handlebars. I was pleasantly pleased that the seating position made my handlebars feel very comfortable without any adjustments required.

I would love a chance to sit in that seat. You guys home? Can I come over for dinner?

I really like my Corbin seat. Feels like I'm sitting in it and when combined with the Ergo IIIs and the Helibars,all day comfort for sure.

Took me a couple of thousand miles to get used to the riding position. Now I can't imagine going back, especially to sticking my legs and feet out in front of me like most v twins.

Had a Vic CrossRoads for about a yr and absolutely loved those long floorboards. Way better than any Harley I've owned.
But since I'm 5'8", F6B seating position works ok for me.

That is a consideration as I'm 5' 8" too and the F6B fits me perfectly it seems.

Mostly guys who are 6' or more have issues with peg/seat/lack of legroom thing. And I totally understand.

Closest I will be to you is ROT Rally in Austin in June. I'll have it there for sure if you want to take a little day trip from Spring over to Austin. This is my last year to work logistics and security for ROT. 20th Anniversary and I have attended or worked all 20. Time to retire.

Mini foot boards with 3/4 drop makes a significant comfort addition to driver backrest, bar risers and ergo highway pegs. Mine fits perfectly now. 6' tall 34" inseam. Oops no victory to compare with. Best my HDSG.

I think the riding position is borne from the sport bike heritage.

Once I realized how the F6 position facilitates better control and maneuverability of the bike by engaging your legs, I've come to appreciate and like it. For example, on rough roads or big bumps you don't have to sit there and hope the recoil doesn't flip your ass over the handlebars... you can simply flex your thigh muscles to elevate yourself slightly off the seat and not be affected by bumps at all.

^^ That's true & I agree 100%. You can put your feet under your ass on the CC as well.
The F6B is a better handler.

Thx guys, Ill do some research on these suggestions. Was hoping not to spend $800 on bars & another $800 + on a seat.

Now if anybody wants a Ultimate seat send me a pm. IT is a nice seat. Well made, looks nice & comfortable. But I don't like the riding position it puts me in.

I have the Rivco Aero flip outs.
