I hope that they work as good for me as they have for all of yall. Right now I am sitting part way up the hump on the seat and it's not very comfortable. Also I was just looking at Harbor Freights MC Jack wondering if it was any good. So, "B" im glad you said something about it. Thanks again all!!!!!!!!!
And by the way, "B" I love your Avatar, sweet.

Thanks bro, give us an update when you put em on. I am 6"1 and made a huge difference. 3" doesn't sound like much, but you should be happy with it. Beats the hell out of buying the HD ones for several hundred more.

The one in the kit works fine and looks just like the stocker only longer.

Mine's a little different, as the bike's older and the rear brake reservoir is on the frame. It used a rod to to peddle. The shift rod your getting is fine, you can go fancy but I was under the imprecision we were going for function. Hey, later if you want fancy there's a ton of different linkages you can pick, maybe after your next IRS refund. (just kidding)

Have you tried any other seats on this bike?

Got the same ones on my Deuce and it makes a WORLD of difference with me being 6'3. Couldn't imagine life without them and my Kury bat-a-rangs cant remember the name of them.

No I haven't. I wouldn't have any idea were to begin. I have had rice burners all my life. I'm going on six weeks with this bike and all the high priced parts. I have 1500 miles on it, and still love it.

i used the kit on mine....also added 5/8th spacers between both the kit and frame and factory controls and kit giving me a nice 1.25" extra width to get my knee out of the air cleaner and reduce the right foot toe-in when braking....much nicer...
