So I changed my bars on my Roadking classic to the heritage bars p/n56623-99. I really like them being farther back toward me. Then my Mustang seat finally showed up. The seat moved me back a couple inches and now I'm back to a long reach that gets to my shoulders.
So I bought some Roadking high bars p/n 55954-00. I just put them on tonight. The increased pullback seems uncomfortable in the wrist, and they aren't back anymore than the heritage bars.
Now I notice that the stock seat positions me perfectly with the heritage bars. Of course, the Mustang is much more comfortable as far as the seat goes.
Looking through the HD catalog it seems I'm out of options. Aftermarket bars are pricier, and would probably require new throttle cables.
So, I'm considering modifying the tab and slots on the Mustang seat. What I want to do is slide the seat forward a couple inches. It looks like the front of the seat could slide up against the tank a little more.
Anybody else notice the Mustang seat is great, but too far back?
