Hi Joe,
I was a little worried, being a little vertically challenged, that it would sit me further away, but if there is a difference I really couldnt tell from my previous set up...

Cheers

Thanks man, so without a tank lift do I still need to modify the speedo?

Which stock seat are you wanting a comparison to? Compared to the stock FXCW/C seat it feels much lower and back about 1-2".. Compared to the FXCW seat it's about the same distance but lower.. Others have thought is was 1-2" closer when compared to the FXCW/C seat.. Looking at your current seat I would guess they would be about the same..

ok thanks guys for the info, I sit real low but not as far back as think I would with heartland.

Raa, with these bars you cannot get stock speedo in there. i have been looking at dakota digital, however the real small one 2 1/16 is not a plug and play.
