I would get the C&C w/gel first and see how long until the *** hurts. A couple weeks ago, I finally got a good 4 hours of riding in one night on the new seat and at the end hardly felt it. Where with stock seat, after 2 hours I was pulling over every hour to stretch. In case you are not aware, the new style 200mm C&C solo can come with the backrest....plus still can use the detachables that need to fender nuts (slides under t-bracket). The seat is not up on their site yet. I ordered the old style and ended up with the new style....glad they screwed up haha.
Anyways heres a pic of the new style with backrest...
Hope this helps.
Jose, I actually need a seat that will move me forward about 2 inches so I can hit my slammers without crouching on long rides.... Does the C&C still let you use the passenger pillion?

holy duplicate post, batman..
An HD, well maintained, will do well over 120,000 miles.. the 107" I assume would be the same, probably burn a starter out though. And I definitely notice the bike running hotter..like..a lot hotter. Probably going to have to install an oil cooler eventually.

Seeking answers from those who had the ignition coil relocated: where did you purchase the plug wires from? And does it make a ton of difference if they were 8.5mm comparing to 8mm or whatever stock? I have already fabricated the mounting hardware and been in shock looking at the prices of some wires from the web. Any help from the Lo bros is greatly appreciated, always.

And yes, I can vow for the endurable, painless and comfortable gel seat from C&C. Mind you, I don't work for them. I'm just a happy customer there.BTW, seeking answers from those who had the ignition coil relocated: where did you purchase the plug wires from?
