More thoughts on lowering my 2010 Ultra
#24
2010 Limited. Installed Progressive 12" 412's. 5'7" with 29" inseam. HD Super Reduced Seat. I can flat foot it, but did lose some shock travel. I have yet to scrape on curves. I felt that it was worth losing some ride comfort in order to have my feet safely on the ground.

I did the 3 posistion lowering kit on my 98 Ultra. Went with the middle position, 2 inches?. It bottomed on a lot of bridges on the Interstate but looked damn good. When I traded for the 08, I just got used to the height. Now, with the 09, I think I'll try the kit again but at the first position, 1 inch to keep from bottoming.
With the 98 I dragged pipes and floor boards in the mountains but I dragged floor boards on the 08 also. Lean it far enough and it drags.

I just checked mine and it is stamped "low". How much lower is it than the earlier stock seats and I wonder if I will gain anything by getting the Mustang "low down" seat.

From what I have been told if you have the Low stock seat it will be hard to find anything lower. I spoke with Mustang about the Low down and also spoke with Chuck at C&C and they both said there will be very little difference if any in seat height compared to the stock Low seat.For this reason I haven't ordered a seat but I am looking into low profile shock options.

I have the same inseam and weight as you my 2010 limited is lowered and i also put the new HD super reduced reach seat on mine gives you 2 more inches, and i really like the seat ride also makes a huge difference in the reach i even have flex in my knees now and backing up is much easier.

The stock "low" seat was very comfortable for long rides, for me, but I did have shoulder/back pain from having to reach for the handlebars. Even with the super reduced seat I still cannot reach the bars comfortably enough for long rides. Can't justify the high cost of changing bars for now. After 1000+ miles, I am finally breaking-in the super reduced seat, or maybe my scrawny butt has gotten used to it.
