Bought my first motorcycle last month (883 Superlow). I have put almost 600 miles on it all ready, and I really love this bike. The only thing is the seat. I feel like it keeps making me slide forward into the tank and it also is a little uncomfortable after about 70 mile. I am looking for suggestions for a new seat. I don't care if it is higher then the stock seat. I am 5ft 9 so seat height is not an issue. I just need one that seats me a little further back. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
I got a Mustang Fastback from Dennis Kirk....$244 and free shipping....fits great and moves me back about 2" and down about 1".It takes about 1000 miles to break in good,but it's a great seat for a 200 lb ,5'8" guy.It even helps get your feet "behind" the footpegs when you stop!!!

Hi Tom, welcome to HDF from a UK SuperLow. If you use search for 'seats' you will find the topic gets frequent discussion. The results are predictable with Mustang and Sundowner coming out on top.
