Default Sportster 1200 Low

My wife has a new 1200 Low that needs to have the seat modified. You did the seat on my Dyna a few months back, so first I turn to you again. My wife is 5' 1" and can not quite touch flat footed on her bike. My question is can you lower this seat to fit her and at the same time add the memory foam to improve comfort? Thanks again!

Honestly, I don't know if we did or not. Trying to match up screen names to emails and real names is a little tough. I know we have people with similar situations on these bikes. Moving the riding position forward some and narrowing the seat along with changing the angles of the sides of these seat helps a lot.

That's what I'd like to have done Allen. If at all possible, try to get her flat footed on the ground. Even if it means less comfort, lower it 1/2" with memory foam. Rider position only as nobody will ever ride on the back.

I also need to send you the seat off my Eagle (Corbin). That seat need to be reworked front and rear with memory foam with a gell pad for the rider lowering the rider 1" and narrowing the nose. The rear work would be to increase comfort for the long hall.


Maybe you can give me a slight discount as a repeat customer and for shipping 2 seats together in for work



I'd call you today but it's Sunday.

Bob,

If you could email me a picture of the Corbin it would help or at least give me the model number so I can look it up and see a good picture of it. The aftermarket seats are a lot tougher to modify than the stock seats are and we price them differently. The removing and installation of the pop rivets take longer and these seats are pretty time consuming.


Thanks,
Allen
