I like, what was the total cost of the seat if you don't mind
Went back and looked. It looks like it was $289.27 from Zanotti's. From HD, it was $369.
Did it lower your riding position from stock?
I'm not sure about lowering, but it did move me back a little bit. I have to put the other seat on when the girlfriend and I go on longer trips and I can definitely feel a difference. The "Stripper" seat puts me in a more comfortable position.
Another quick note is the carpet on the bottom of the seat has left some marks on the fender. I would suggest using something under the seat (example: old mouse pad) from the beginning to avoid this.

I've already worn, scuffed, repainted, and rescuffed my fender, That's the beauty of a flat black bike.On a side note, Rustoleum high temp is not a perfect match to Black denim but after it wears a bit by being washed and dried a few times it's pretty close.
I have the "Stripper" seat and love it. Girlfriend doesn't care for it on long rides, but she hung in there for about 100 miles on it this weekend.
Anything specific you want to know?
Buy it from Zanotti's!!! It saved me about $65 (including shipping) instead of buying from local HD dealer.
Is the seat as wide as the stock seat you took off? I love the look, but I don't want to get a smaller seat than stock. Do you find it more comfortable than stock? If so, how? Does it have better padding, or thicker padding? better shape? Thanks in advance for the info.
I have a stripper seat on my 2005 FXDCI
the seat has less padding than sthe stock
It is harder than the stock seat
rougher on the passenger than the stock...I ride mostly solo as my wife has her own bike
BUT it looks friggin GREAT
It is also wider then the stock.
you get to move around more on the stripper seat than the stock seat
I am 5'9" not problem for me as far as reach to the highway bars or ground
the biggest issue I hear from other people is the width
hope this helps....see if the dealer will let you try one before you buy....HD in LEX had one and let me try it
