Dyna Low Rider - Seat Modifications
I am looking to adjust my seat (07 Low Rider) to get more comfort/control of the bike at low speeds, etc.
Ideally, I would like to reduce the seat by 1" and move it forward a bit 1" as well.
Two options. Seat adjustment through Mean City or at a minimum purchase 11" progressives with a different seat.
It doesnt look like it makes sense to narrow the seat at all although think that would help.
So, in simple terms, I want to gain more control to compensate for my inseam 29".
What do you recommend. Surely someone has presented this problem before.

RE: Dyna Low Rider - Seat Modifications
Hi Allen,
I too have an 07 Lowrider and need a seat adjustment. I'm 5'2" with a 29" inseam. I need to be moved forward 2-3 inches and the nose of the seat needs to be about 2 inches narrower. I'd like to get the memory foam but I'm concerned it will raise me up too high for my feet to comfortably reach the ground. Is this something ya'll can do? If so, I'll call you on Saturday and schedule an appointment.
Thanks in advance!

RE: Dyna Low Rider - Seat Modifications
So would you recommend I go with the Extreme Seat Mod instead of the memory foam? Narrowing the nose of the seat should allow me to put my feet flat on the ground. Right now the seat is just too wide and prevents me from being flat footed (in addition to causing hip pain after riding 100+ miles). I'm so short that I can't reach the highway pegs and I thought moving me forward would help with that......in addition to keeping me from sliding down in the seat while riding. I love the seat and the padding is comfortable.
I think I need to be put on a stretching machine! LOL

The extreme modification will move you back which you don't want.
