Good idea there checking the takeoffs on ebay for crashed 2016's....

You can get it online for about $250 through Board Tracker or surdyke.

Thanks guys. I have a HD low seat on the bike that has been worked and lowered. My right foot is flat on the ground and comfortable but the left one is reaching around the primary cover. I've sat on an Ultra Low and it felt great. Just gotta find a primary cover that's a stock take off.

Air ride was by far the best correction for my short-legged syndrome.

I'm 5'8" and have my feet comfortably on the ground with the SGS CVO seat on my 16 RGS (narrow primary). Surprisingly, the seat has actually been comfortable on the couple of short day trips I've taken (150-300 miles).

It's nice. I did it as soon as a black one was available. However long ago that was.

It's funny, I've got a 34" inseam, but I really like the narrow primary. Seems like it's much easier to move the bike around when parking or in the garage. Weird how such a small change makes such a big difference.
