Yea, lose the floor boards and get a 3" forward controle kit "120-300$" . get some 12" apes. Have mean city cycles re-build your seat maby one inch down and one inch back with memory foam. At least thats what I did and now i'm good for at least 500 miles. I'm 6'4" and 270lb and it worked for me.

You might try riding a bike, or at least sitting on one before buying it.&nbsp\\; Just a thought...

Yea defender7. do an ebay search or go to your local indy shop or check out drag specialties for a forward control extension kit. They have bars and risers too. Went back and forth on weather to go to drags or mini apes and settled on apes (45$ ebay) and love them. Now I dont sloutch any more. Good luck..

I moved my floorboards forward about 2" and out about 1 1/2" - then switched to a softtail standard seat that MCC reworked to move me back about 2" and down about 2".

do a search and you'll find several threads on what some others have done.
