I am a new Harley owner and I need some advice. I have a 2009 Rocker C and I can barely touch the ground so I need to lower the bike somewhat.... preferably with a lower seat. I also need either longer handlebars or taller risers so I would be able to sit up straight. Any advice would surely be appreciated.

One of the best seats out there right now is the Danny Gray. You can find them on eBay also. If you are looking for unique and well made bars check out BR's Custom Bars.

I changed to a fxcw seat and now I'm flat foot on the ground. The fxcw was the cheapest option, check ebay. As for bars, it's all about personal taste check the forum to get an idea of what you want. Good luck
