Got my FXCW seat installed, much better! Lower & narrower and more comfortable.

how much lower did it go??

 

I think they claimed 3/4", but it feels like an inch or more. I can put my feet down flat, and I have short (30" inseam) legs. The seat seems narrower in front too.

i finally got my caps yesterday after being backordered for 2 months, but one of them is broken. on mounting tang is broken off and the other is twisted. the box was crushed.

of course, they are backordered again until the 15th

 

kewl. that info with a Arlen Ness lowering kit should get me the height I want

 

Can you share what was required to do this. Parts numbers if you still have them would be great. Mention this to my local dealer and looked lost on the idea.

 

Are those "caps" pre-painted from factory? How much and whats the part number?

 

Yes, comes in the 3 colors.

Part # on mine (may be for the crimson red) 71696-08, 2 @ 25.73 ea.

Just got back from a nice evening ride. The seating position is a lot more comfortable, down into the bike.
