Default Drop Seat Kit

I have been so frustrated about the seating position on my 2010 FLHX.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE everything else about the bike, but I just cannot seem to find it tweaked to the way I like to be sitting on my bike.

I have tried different seats, modified the stock seat, etc. The last resort for me seems to be the FBI/ BaggerWerx drop seat kit.

If I get the kit, I'd install it myself but I've read that the computer needs to be reset once you touch the ABS line. How much does a dealer charge for it?
(I need to take it in to my budget of the whole conversion....)

Any of you who have done the conversion, what is your impression after the conversion? Do you like the way you sit in the bike now?

Any input from the guys who already have it done is appreciated!

Thanks!

I have the Bagger Werx drop seat kit installed on my SG 2010.


For me having this kit installed, allowed me to have my feet flat on the ground (I'm only 5'3"). I looked at both drop seat kit, FBI and BaggerWerx, and preferred BaggerWerx, because their seat are custom made by Corbin, and I preferred the side covers from BaggerWerx. The two-up Corbin seat is actually very comfortable for long haul. The solo seat, is not as comfortable, but is okay for short ride.
