GREG!

My seat came in. This may sound weird but it makes the bike feel smaller. Almost more cramped. It sits lower than the other seat and moved me forward too. Took the reach out of the bars though. Not sure how a long ride will be but I'm concerned. With the rear of the seat coming up, it puts pressure on my tailbone I've never had. With the cushion on it feels pretty good though. Only a longer ride will tell.

Before and after

Evening, Chris!
You didn't order a "reach" seat, did you?
My Mustang seat when unmodified was pretty neutral as far as position is concerned. I'm 6'0.

Mean City Cycles can fix it. I like the look though, much better than the tractor seat.

I too, am 6'0". It's neutral, but it's a lot lower than the tractor seat was and by default, gives me more reach and less stretch. Not complaining, it did what it was supposed to do.

Where are they located? I'd be interested in modification that removes a little material out of the back center. They're just rivets holding it in place, I may get into it myself if I need to.

I agree, it looks a lot better than the tractor seat.

Lou, is it true that a gender reveal firework caused the fires?

With 2 million acres burned who knows what fire it's from.
