Default drop seat kit?

I'm tempted to do this to my Street Glide whether its the one from Bagger Werx or Fat Baggers Inc (FBI).

Not any where near the same results the drop seat from FBI is a true 3" plus what ever compression in the seat or if you reworked the seat for another inch.

OP, one of the guys in my HOG chapter has it on a SG, super clean setup and looks good. Even if you dont need it because of reach it makes you really feel like you are in the bike not on top of it

We did the Bagger Werks to my brothers 2009 RK.

At the time, we got EXTREMELY tight on space for the PCV, Autotune(We have since went to the Powervision), and LED light balancer. His bike has ABS which was another bit of time.
Actually mounted the ign. coil in front of the frame like the old days. With a heat deflector to keep motor temps from direct blasting it.

He loves it now and is glad it is set up this way. Both feet flat on the ground when stopped.

It's a god send for inseams less than 30". More Builders are doing it to give them an edge. I love mine!

the 09 and up frames are modular thats really what makes the whole "kit" a possibilty....
its really just a matter of nuts and bolts, no cutting , hacking, welding, etc.....
