    An option that currently gets good feed-back is having your stock seat re-done by Mean City Cycles in NC..I would have done my stock seat with them but they were not doing F6B seats at the time...They can move you lower, forward, backward, harder, softer, what ever your dimensions dictate..Great folks to deal with...Their info is on the Web and you can save a bundle of cash...Still may have them do my seat and sell the Mustang....

    Thanks for all the quick replies, what about my concern about reaching the bars comfortably when you change the seat.

    I can tell you that the Corbin that David K has pushes you forward. Don't know if they are all like that but his is.

    I just put a "Lowerwing" on mine and it's great! Quality is excellent and will lower your bike as advertised.If you have a centerstand you will want to replace it with his shorter stand.
