For those asking for pics of the Mustang seats a few weeks back. Here's their 16" Touring Solo and Passenger pillion... Just got back from a 600 mile trip on it and didn't have to reposition my backside once. Amazing seat. You sit about 1" lower and farther back than with the stocker.
Thx for the pics!
Question on the mustang touring seat: how does it feel compared to the stock one ? Is it softer or harder ? I bought a Saddleman solo seat and honestly I have the feeling to seat on wood! Very hard. Just by pressing with your fingers, you can feel that it is stronger.
What about this mustang one?
Thank you!
Just as a heads up for fellow FB owners. I installed Oberon adjustable levers over the winter. Upon bringing the bike out this season I was chasing a weird new idle situation. When coming to a stop the idle would raise a few 100 RPM right before coming to a stop with the clutch lever pulled in. Once I came to a complete stop the idle would drop back to normal. Fearing it was the infamous composite plastic intake manifold issue I reinstalled the OE levers yesterday evening. Low and behold the bike is 100% back to normal.

This may be the clutch switch. The lever may be contacting the hand grip before the switch is triggered. To test this, pull the lever all the way in with the bike in gear and see if you can start it. When I first put the Oberon Adjustable Clutch Lever on my Limited I stalled out at a light because I was not used to the new friction zone and I could not restart the bike without fumbling for neutral. I have since discovered that on setting '3' all is fine...not so much with '2' or '1'. The racing idle is a potential clue that the switch is not being triggered.
Pretty much what I found as well. I did not like the feel of the levers in addition to the clutch switch issue so off they went. I'm going to purchase a set of the OE levers and have them powder coated at some point.
After researching through countless pages i cannot find a definitive answer on this question. Can anyone tell me the exact cable lengths i need to get in order to install my lucky daves 11" t bars? I'm guessing its going to be about +3-4" over the stock cables but i dont want to play guessing games! ALSO i just need the upper brake cable correct? My bike is a 2018 with ABS.

Thanks for that info,
I do not have any problem at al with the Rick's in whatever position I'm setting it in, so I can use 1 to 6 without any problem. Conclusion will be you
better buy Rick's levers instead of the Oberon. I'm glad the Oberon's were in backorder back then but is it possible that the grips that you use are
too thick ?
