    Go to the site Lower my Wing products, you can buy a new rear suspension link and then you raise your forks. Yes you will lose some cornering clearance and have to watch out for speed bumps. But I just want to try it, I'm tired of stretching so much to get a foot down. If you go this route look for used parts, that's what I did. You also have to change the center stand to a Ride Off stand, your old one won't work. Sorry about the thread hijack.

    Hi there, Mustang made a seat 1 in. lower, than why make the seating position further back by an inch. The lower seat is great for a short rider and now a longer reach to the bars. I guess i must be missing something.
    Does anyone with time on this seat have a review as to comfort?
    Looking to buy Mustang or Ultimate. I would like to be lower but not at the expense of comfort.

    Thanks for any help..............Richie

    Got my seat and did the install

    After reading all the concerns about fit of the seat…I started with painters tape and marked where the bolts attached to the bike…laid the seat in place and began the installation…rights side no issues …used a long screw driver to get the seat in place…onto the left side….no issues…I did have a talk with the back bolt and it did begin to understand I wanted it to line up….. The fit is tight …the tolerances by the levers that open the seat are VERY TIGHT…. over all no big deal…30 mins start to finish…. Very nice seat!!! The seat is 1 “ lower but could not see any further back…the seat does not push you forward which was the major concern for me in buying this seat !!! Very Happy!!!!

    Does cut of the seat eliminate any need for a backrest?
    I know the seat rises sharply behind rider, just curious if anybody still wants a backrest for more back support.
    13 F6B Deluxe I've taken the road less traveled, now where the hell am I?
    I don't buy a bike to impress other people, just me !!

    Steve,Can I come over to Sanford and sit on it to see if its something I'd be interested in? I did have one on a bike a couple years ago and it sucked. Made my legs go to sleep. I really like the looks of it on the F6B..................Dickie
