Default lowering links with stock seat

Can I use the lowering links from jp cycles and still use the stock seat. I am thinking that if I lower it the mounting hole for the seat will not be in the same place.

What bike are you using them on? The seat and fender on sportys are both mounted to the frame. They have nothing to do with the suspension. The lowering kit will change the position of your rear shocks. Look at the pic I have on my avitar. My bike is slammed 3 inches there. The seat will remain bolted to the fender as is. No need to mess with it. Just be careful not to go too low as so your rear fender doesn't scrape the tire on bumps.
