Hi all,

want to drop about an inch seat height on a '10 road king standard, looking at a sundowner seat on line and its a bit hard to tell - are they lower?

If not what's a good seat that will not compromise comfort for the pillion but still give me a lower seat height?

or should I just get my seat cut down an inch?

or stop bitching and just deal with it?

And seeing as I already have your attention, what do you all reckon about 1 1/4 inch fat bars for the 'king? same ones they put on the SE ' king over the last few years...looks like they come back about a couple of inches further than standard.

The Sundowner seat is a different position to and much more comfy than the stocker but I wouldn't say it lowers you an inch.

Perhaps have a look at the reach seat?

cheers

Thanks for the info hogbag, I probably need to go forward a little rather than back. By the photo you sent on one of my other posts it certainly looks the goods but.

G'day Phantom,

Thanks for the info mate - sounds like they will do the trick. Decided to go with the sundowner, if the 'bars have a little extra pull back, I shouldn't need the reach seat.

I'm around 5'8" so should work (not quite "short ass midget gnome" but close!) ordered from MandM, A$582.70 including shipping for both.

Not bad eh? Frasers wanted A$599 just for the seat. Oh, sorry, minus my 10% discount.

Cheers, Stumbly
