Watch out for Larosa products, my experience with them has been awful, the quality is lacking and the customer support does not exist, true Chinese production house.

Just search 'larosa seat' on ebay and see how many seats are out ? more than any one else .. you can not have quality this way.

At any rate, your FB is probably a 200 wide and this kit looks like a 'deluxe' 2000 up kit i.e. for 150 tire..

good luck with your conversion, If I were you I would go with the HD kit .

I went with the HD solo seat and am very happy. I relocated how it is attached almost 2 inches back and heated and bent the springs down and back.
