Default Deluxe....seat issues

&nbsp\\;Love the look of the stock seat, but I feel as if Im sitting up &amp\\; forward way too much.&nbsp\\; Anyone making a seat that look similar to stock, but sits lower &amp\\; back? Anyone have a stock seat reworked?

check out meancitycycles.com they can take your seat and shave out the seat so you sit down and back. cheaper than buying a whole new seat, and it's your exact seat.

Good luck. Without the mounting holes in the frame as in prior yr models, 08's are very limited on solo seat selection. Corbin and Mustang have em but you'll sit about an inch higher. Read somewhere that someone bought a solo seat for prior years models, cut of the mounting tabs, pulled out the mounting bracket on the fender and used velcro. Not sure that is the best idea.
