Seat choice with "Reach" Handlebars
Having major indecision with the choice of a new seat. I have an '07 Ultra with the "reach" handlebars and want a new seat for princess and I. I tried a Road Zeppelin on my '05 with the same bars and felt like I was up too high (I'm 5'6") so I ebayed it after about 200 miles. I have read on here that the Sundowner sets you up higher also ?
I like the looks of the Corbin, and have ridden friend's bikes with them on it - but they do not have the same bars. I felt like I was falling forward (the guy riding my bike said he felt like a manatee with his arm position.)
I guess my question is - Does anyone have these bars ? and what seat do you use with them ?
The wife is concerned she won't like the hardness (firmness) of the Corbin
Thanks, Adam

RE: Seat choice with "Reach" Handlebars
Fish,
How do you like the reach hanlebars , what do they feel like?
I got the reach seat and did not like it, put it on, sat on it and took it right back off.
Going to sell it. I like the orignal seat........I just started a new thread asking about lowering mine. Want to know about other's
thoughts. I thought about the reach bars too. Please tell me all you can.
TIA !

I have an 06 Ultra. Added Reach Bars and Lowered rear with lowering shocks. I also tried the Reach Seat and didn't loke it. I am happy now with thw stock seat. Forgot to add, I am also 5.6.

RE: Seat choice with "Reach" Handlebars
I like the bars. They come back about 2" closer to you. I'm able to have a slight bend in my arms and it makes it much more comfortable. I had them for 2 years on my last Ultra and missed them for the first few weeks before I get a set put on my 07 last fall. If you have fairing mount mirrors they would not be a good idea as they would block your view

RE: Seat choice with "Reach" Handlebars
Let me know how you like the combo when you have your new bars on. Do you have an Ultra also ? If so do you have a pic of the bike with the Sundowner on it ?
