No doubt the seat IS his best and first option to change to get himself lower to "mom earth" and even with his woman on the back will help him there. I checked his air when he got home with it, the dealer sent him out the door with 35psi, so I dropped it to around 12 to ease the ride, It was really a stiff looking ride before hand, and he says it feels much better now. I knew it wasn't going to lower him much, if any, but whatever may help

Mark,

At least his dealer checked the air pressure - most bikes seem to go out the door at zero psi.

Found this on the side of Hwy 142 in Farrer, GA (between Newborn and Shady Dale) at a little pub!  I almost slammed on my brakes to look at it.  I was following mom and dad, and they noticed I stopped and turned around.  Met four of the greatest guys -- despite them stereotyping me and laughing when they said, "You ride?  You don't exactly look like a biker!"  Mom set them straight!  It was a classic moment!  Almost as classic as her trying to set me up with one of them...

The bikes are in order...SEUC (B&O), UC (Blue), SEUC (Black and Candy Crimson?), and RK (basically stock....yea, right!  We know all about that!!).  Ironically, a couple of the guys were from my area just out riding and decided to have lunch at this new pub they like (200+ miles away).

I told them about the site and MV after they invited us to Unadilla for Bikefest the same weekend.  OH YEA, BTW, he just walked in his dealership as they were unloading and he put a deposit down on it.  No search, no wait!  Just in the right place at the right time!!!

Nice group of bikes V-- Moms sounds like a handfull in a bar!

My dad was afraid to go in because he thought they'd only serve beer.  But it's not really a "bar."  It's a local pub...good food, two pool tables, fried frog legs, beer (and sweet tea) and a big screen!!  Mom is a handful anywhere!!  By far, the most stubborn person I know!  Her dad was Irish and her great grandmother on her mother's side was American Indian.  Creates quite a combination of temper and attitude!!!  At 5' 0" she is the only person I've ever been afraid of (and I think my dad and brother would agree)!!!!!!!

So at least we know where you get it?

[TheVgirl]

So what exactly are you trying to say, Scot?  :-?

That you might be a bit, uh, strong willed  [smiley=angel.gif]
which, btw, I admire!

MYCVO...your friend might also want to consider a set of air shocks...since putting my Legends on, it has made a huge difference in my confidence level when trying manuever the bike with my feet/legs.  Drops the rear end 3" in just a couple of seconds, then pump 'em back up when you start moving down the road again.  And, you have suspension, even all the way down.  Just an alternative to giving up suspension travel permanently on an already lowered bike.

TC,
That's an excellent option! But just yesterday did I hook up with him at Cape Cod HD and he had already did the spring lower kit, and has dropped a couple hundred miles on it, and says it feels great. We rode about a hundred when we left there and I taped him for the first time, the bike seems to handle very well, and he's flat footed at rest so I think he's good on the note.
But damn 3" that some drop!

Well... That could be good news for me
I thought those air shocks didn't exist for RoadKing but Softail.
Do you know where I coud find the product ref ?

Thanks,

Jean-Jacques
