Excellent point. And use loctite.

I put mine on too high the first time and ended up lowering them like one of the earlier posters here mentioned -- to gain the three basic positions.

If I was doing it again, I'd have asked my brother to lend me a hand so I could put my feet out and he could position them for me. It would have been a lot quicker.

thanks guys - some great advice there. I'll try not to look like the gyno chair but will keep my wrench handy for the inevitable adjustments i'll be makin.

I set mine so my knee has a slight bend. Straight leg puts a negative pressure on my knee. My toe can touch where the mount and peg meet with heel on the floor board.

Be careful not to scratch the **** out of the HW bar chrome while setting them up.

Just above the rear brake pedal - on the inside of the crash bars so when I lane-share I won't have to cover someone else's new paint job!

Default Love the seat

Mr. Nellis love the solo seat.


I am looking at purchasing the mustang solo for my 09 electra glide. How do you like the seat. I am comparing it to my 08 road king seat and want it to move me back further the the stock e/g seat. Would you recommend it? thanks wizzard44

2. Heels or soles on the pegs.
3. Backs of the ankles on the pegs, soles facing forward.

(...and of course, feet on the floorboards not touching the pegs at all)

I think that gets me the maximum flexibility and alternatives.

Hope this helps.

i've had the offset 360 degree mounts on my EGC for about 3 weeks now. I have changed positions at least 10 times. Tried the stirrup high setup and the extremely low mount. Like most other posters i have found that the best location is one that allows multiple positions while riding. Best of luck and ride safely.

I couldn't agree with you more on this one. Makes the most sense, speaking from experience.
