Have you tried a reach seat? Lots easier to change. will lower you and move you closer to the bars and controls. Its $300 bucks, 5 minutes to replace.Part number 52916-08

Yea, its a Harley seat. If you have done the seat the bars are next&nbsp\\; I guess. I've read of other guys changing the bars on the 08's, I bet its expensive.
