Hi all,

Just bought my (5ft tall) wife an 89 1200 and it needs to be lowered.

Any tips?

 

Thanks

 

btw tried searching but it would work for me

Who sells low profile seats in Australia?
I contacted CC in QLD but they are slack and havent bothered to reply to me (after 10 days)

Thanks for your input No27

I bought a harley badlander seat because vinyl on orginal seat was worn .Used it for 6 months and then retrimed orginal seat for a more ride comfortable ride.Badlander only comfy for 1 hour.You can't put as short a shocker on early model sporties as 2004 & later.I would ring Ian at VPW he knows sporties.

Replaced the rear shocks with 11 ikons and now my wife can ride it, next is a lower seat which I will get Monday from a mate with a spare. The seat from him isnt as thin as we would like but it will give us an idea on how much lower it will be.

Hey Pete,

If you want something different have a look at Danny Grey in the states.

My wife has ducks desease (4'-10"), so I did the lowering at the back and I got a Gel seat from him and she's now very happy.

So does mine, she is 5ft even.
Will google him now.
Thanks

Shame, hers is an 89 and his Sporty seats start at 04, oh well

Pete, try the Burly Brand Slammer Kit.

Will do the front and rear end, you can drop the arse down to 10.5'? Not too sure how they would go 2 up, however if it is just for the misses than I imagine they would be fine.

You wont be able to get em in AUS because of the name conflict with Burly Bars, had this discussion with a few different providers. Jump on eBay and you'll find the entire kit for cheap as!

Good luck
