Hey guys, I was wondering about the Mongoose seat from Biltwell. Does it look/feel good ? Does anyone have this seat on their Sportster ? I can't find much information or pictures about this seat

 

Found some time this weekend with no rain. Started to fit the mid controls I picked up. That proved to be a bigger task than expected. Had to remove exhaust to get to some screws/bolts/etc.

Turned out to be a good thing as I discovered that I was missing one of the exhaust nuts. Oops! Must have rattled off... Replaced all 4 since they were rusted pretty badly anyway.

As expected the brake lever on the mids would hit the Patriot exhaust when depressed fully. Out came the grinder and I'm making it work. Ate up all of my grinder batteries so it still needs a bit more trimming. It was good enough for a test ride though. At 6'3" it feels like I'm perched on top of the bike now. I like that I can stand up on the pegs if I wanted, and the added control is welcomed. Have to finish it up and go on a longer ride to ultimately decided if they're staying on or if the forwards are going back on.


Still needs a bit more trimming.

Good enough to test ride. Still could use a little more clearance.

 

Put my Memphis Shades Gauntlet Fairing on, detachable sissy bar and the black derby and chain inspection cover

 

Very nice...how is the fairing working for you?

 

Just got it all together and washed up. Will be riding to work and will let you know !

 

What size bars are those? I'm just curious how my 12" would compare to the height of yours behind the fairing.

 

Biltwell Frisco 7"...kinda want to go a little higher maybe 10-12"

 

Rode to work...definitely kept a lot of wind of the chest area but that's about it. Love the look of it though

 

I got the same bars. They definitely are a little too low :/ Well I'm 6'4 so that doesn't help

 

Im only 5'11 and they are too low for my liking. I was thinking of going possibly 10". I don't want anything too crazy
