Who wants to minimize performance in such a desperate way ? Big wales belong to HD impressionists . Lets keep style and proportions .

I think the Mustang seat lower by one inch will most likley do the job for me. I do not want to lower the bike and give up performance.

Thank you for all your help guys!!!!

5'6" 29" inseam, also post Harley. While I cannot flat foot the f6 it hasn't been a real problem because the bike is so nicely balanced, even better than Harleys. So no mods for me yet.

I'm 5'6", 29" inseam. looking to buy a F6B this year. I lowered my meanstreak from 29" to 27" seat height by 1" shorter shocks in rear and slightly shorter front tire and 1" lower mustang seat. Mustang seats are great. I think the lowering actually helped the handling, I was worried about that, but turned out better.
You need to remove the center stand if you lower the F6B.
Funny because I sat on all 3, the full wing and F6B and valkyrie side by side in the dealership. The F6B looked a lot lower, but when I sat on them, I could reach the ground better on the full wing and the seat was a whole lot more comfy. F6B looks a whole lot lower, but the seat height is almost the same, yes wider in front makes the diff. I looked at a bunch of bikes and I just cannot find a reason not to get a F6B. The salesman was trying to sell me on a 1300ctx, but I just couldn't buy it, looks nice but saddlebags a little cheap looking and my leg touched the exhaust pipe when I put my feet down and a couple more thousnd for the F6B seems like a no brainer. great forum guys, now all I need is the money, ugh.

I'm 5'7 and took the stock seat to a local reupholster and had her lower it an inch and narrow front a little. Works great for me and it only cost $100.00. She's done work on other bike seats and does a great job. just a thought.

that's a great idea, there are some seat mods on you tube, doesn't seem that hard, especially since I'm a carpenter by trade. nothing to loose.worth a try. I have a stapler and electric kitchen knife, all you need.
