Default SPY PHOTOS of FBI's new drop seat converson

here are some pictures of FBI's new drop seat converson for the 2009 Baggers. It lowers the seat height a full three inches. The bike will be at the V-Twin Expo this weekend in Ohio. The said they were going to start selling the kit next week. Here is a pic of the bike with the seat and side covers, and one of the bolt on rear fender with the new dash also.

I could go for lowering the seat height, but it looks like you might be sitting on the saddlebags.

That's funny, but true. I think the seat gives you the "I just crapped my pants" look. I thought I was on the short side at 5'7. If I needed a seat to lower me that much to ride a bike, I'd find a new hobby........

The seat actually is pretty comfortable, good lower support. The bags are not even close to your legs, but it does look like it. It does sit just like the Razorbacks, the windshield is not to high. I am 5'9 and the bike feels alot better. Just though you guys might like to see something before the general public does. The prototype bike is in the background.
