It is lower than stock so it will help with your vertical challenged status...

not to hijack at all but man that is a beautiful machine.


what pipe is that??

I did, and I do them all the time. Hell I'm only 50, but maybe when I'm old I'll get a big cushy seat with a backrest lol.

I saw something called Mustang Fred Kedlin solo seat, it looks promising.

Strange... They have it listed in the 2016 lineup, but not the 2017. Maybe they haven't confirmed the fitment yet? Send them an email, and tell them you'll test it for a discount!
I ordered one from ebay $403 shipped
