#40879 USAFRETIRED (User) Moderator Posts: 551 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 4 Years, 8 Months ago   I want a seat that lowers me into the bike but does not move me forward My Opinion: Any seat that lowers you down will move you forward. Take a look at the stock seat "seating area" and mark that area in relationship to a point on the frame. Remove the seat and you will see that because you are sitting higher, you are actually back on the seat horn "The point where the rear fender mounts". Any seat that lowers you down is going to move you forward slightly because the seat horn slants foward. I have had most all of the aftermarket seats and all of them moved me forward slightly. Other opinions vary, but compare the sitting area on different seats in relationship to the frame and I think you will see what I am saying.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #40932 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

I have medium risers and the Ultimate seat set and love it. Yes I am forward a little but it is a comfortable forward as the angle is better and my butt loves it. Tom your going to love your Ultimate seats. Wife loves hers too.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #40943 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts.

Someday I'll get more "bling" for mine too.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #40952 dryriver (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 335 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 4 Years, 8 Months ago   I have the Ultimate solo seat,with a backrest that bolts to the rear fender supports. It does move you forward just a tad, but you also seem to sit down in the seat rather than on the seat, like they say. This seat/backrest arrangement, and with the floorboards and controls moved forward 3" and turned up 15 degrees makes a very comfortable ride. The floorboards are moved forward with plates I made from plans on either this forum or the Roadstar Riders forum. Very easy and look good.   Logged     I would rather be on my bike thinking about God, than sitting in church thinking about my bike.

Won't have time until Saturday or so to put 'em on and try 'em out, but at least they're here.

I have a stock 2006 ( brand new left over stock) Roadie, 2 weeks old, Love it!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #41035 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!
