How does the scoot handle solo and with a passenger? The wife already hates the stock ride of the SG. How comfy is that 2011 seat mod? Looks like there is no padding on there.
I am trying to post the pic of my bike with Burly slammer kit.
The first pic is the 2010 FLHX stock seat Modified by MCC
The second is the 2011 FLHX stock seat modified by MCC
THe third is my front suspension with slammer kit drop in springs with
the supplied spacers (the blue masking tape shows where the cowbell was w/o the spacer)
The forth is the pic of their 10.5" rear shocks
The last is the pic of the whole bike.
Hope this will give you some idea/ image of how the bike would look with
the slammer kit.

I would love to see it (I'm 5'-8" and considering lowering options myself) and I'm sure others would too, if you click "Go Advanced" under the "Quick Reply" window then it'll open up a window with more options. Scroll down and click on "Manage Attachments". A new window will pop up, under "Upload File from your Computer" click on "Browse" and navigate to the photo on your computer, then click on "Upload". After it uploads you can repeat to add more photos, then click on "Close this Window" when you're done. Type your message and when you hit "Submit Reply" the pics will show up under your message.
It works!!! Thanks for the tip.

I ordered parts from them the 24th of March. They gave me a mid April ship date. No parts and they have been ignoring my emails since 4/24.

I'd rather pay more and work with a place I know communicates with its current and "potential" customers.
Wonder what's going on there.

here is a shot of mine with the burly rear shocks. 2012 street glide 18" rear and 21" front. no clearance issues till under the 9.5 eye to eye clearance that the shocks are internally limited to. rides fine. I'm 190 and usually have about ten pounds of miscellaneous crap in the bags. little bouncy when set higher than the middle setting on the preload but on pos. 3 seems fine. haven't tried it 2 up yet, but I've got lots of preload left.

I know price is an issue, but we are talking about modications to a Harley. Is there anything that doesn't cost a couple hundred dollars? Anyway, I just had the Progressive Montube Shocks put on the front of my bike. I got the kit that allows lowering and had the front end lowered one inch. It made all the difference. I could definitely tell the Bike was lower and WOW what a difference in handling. Obviously, if you are willing to tackle it yourself you can save quite a bit.
