When I sat on the drop seat at Daytona, it kinda felt like you are wedged into the bike, is that what you mean? The feel of the production FBI bikes is more comfortable to me. But I'm not spending $40+ to get that either! LOL.

yes, it sets you back quite a bit. And, for those of you that asked, the seat is rock hard and the shape is a little odd. I am sure it is something to get used to. The hardest part is getting used to sitting in that position. over all I am very happy.

I couldn't see her riding it for more than 50 miles before breaking her backside. Plus the reach to the bars!
Wife said No F-ing way. Looks cool though...

Sat on one at Daytona seriously thinking about buying it for the wife (cause she's height challenged). The seat was rock hard and put you in a "V" so to speak.

After looking at these kits on the internet for about a year, I ran across a used kit on Ebay for about a third of retail and couldn't pass it up. At 6'2" I didnt have problems reaching the ground, but have always prefered the softail feel of sitting in the bike rather than on it. Put it on about two weeks ago and its just what I was hoping for. The pushed back seat feels great with apes and extended running boards makes for a roomy feel.
The touring seat is pretty firm, but actually very comfortable. Its wide and had a good shape with lots of lower back support. Not sure if I could make a 800 mile day like I could on my tall-boy seat, but I will find out soon enough.
As for the installation, it went smooth with no surprises. I watched the you tube video the night before the parts showed up and had it done in about three hours. I did have to remove the california vapor recovery canister from under the back of the tank to make room, but not problems. I did lose the auto-cancel feature on the turnsignals, but expected I might since I had read that on other posts.
