RE: Sundowner or Mustang Seat
ORIGINAL: Drumstyks
Seems like the sundowner will push you forward, might be good for someone short but not me.
I have a 1200R with stock seat. I seem to have 2 issues with comfort. One, I seem to be wanting to sit back more. I find
myself trying to back up and am nearly sitting up on the backrest portion of the stock seat. (I'm 5' 11", 180lbs) I also find
myself hunched over alott, not sitting up straight, kills my back. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you
do? I'm thinking of changing the seat then the bars but would like some input from anyone with simular experience.
(Sorry to take over the thread but seems like the same topic.

RE: Sundowner or Mustang Seat
The taller profile of the roadster and seating position coupled with the lower bar position will have you leaning fwd. in a more agressive hunched over riding postion. I had the same problem with my stock bar and riser set up but obviously not now with the mini-apes.
