And I thought I was a little agressive with my mods, very very nicely done.

Awesome scooter, I watch the helibar-video, looks
very adjustable. If they would already make it for the vrod,
my wife would insist in one.

Very nice mods , a lot of bucks and a lot of work

Wow, that some bike, wts! Got a few ? for you:

Does the FBI drop seat move you further back in the bike?
How does the new seat position compare to the stock as far as feel? Are you glad you did it?
Did you have someone redo the FBI seat, or did FBI do that for you?

Thanks! Great looking bike!

WTS
Scooter looks great. I have the same bars and still working a little on the adjustment. I'm blocking some of the idiot lights right now. How are you enjoying the power adder? Just wondering how reliable it is. I need some power for mine, ride 2 up a lot. If your up in the neighborhood let me know. I'm in Greensboro.

Hey Rick I would have thought that the procharger would give it plenty of power? Are you going to the easeryrider show in Charlotte this weekend?

Mike

Sweet ride WTS

That is some sweet looking ride...

wts · « **Reply #31 on:** January 22, 2010, 07:56:01 AM »

the radio is kenwood with garmin nav ... also plays off a memory stick on a usb port ... the handle bar controls do work

just rode key west to wilmington on Christmas Day (950+ miles) and I think it rides better ... no difference in the stock suspension

you just sit down in it a little more ... need long arms or different bars

the air induction system does help on the power (about 149 hp) , but I'm shootong for 185+ hp (and without loud)

would like to go to charlotte but can't ... Rick maybe I'll see you and Ms Dent at some other function

thx

Thanks for the pix. The company (FBI) will be in Laughlin for the river run. I will have to check it out before I purchase. Or does anyone know of someone in the southern California area that has done this drop.

A little eye candy.

Highjagger · « **Reply #41 on:** March 01, 2010, 02:07:12 AM »

Really very nice , but only for small riders i guess .

Eqcons · « **Reply #42 on:** March 01, 2010, 07:06:59 AM »

Looks fantastic! As a vertically challenged rider, I'd sure appreciate being 3" lower, but at over $1000 an inch, I'll stick to bigger boots!

Your bike is just gorgeous.

I have a bagger werx drop seat kit with the Corbin two up seat and ABS module. I just got off the phone with Billy from Bagger Werx and he told me there was a possable clearance issue with the CVO 18 inch wheels and the battery box when the tire grows with heat. Does any one have any experience with this? He said 16 inch wheels were no problem. I do not want to take my bike apart just to find out it won't fit. I may have to sell the kit if it does not fit.

2018_FLTRXSE · « **Reply #44 on:** March 24, 2011, 03:04:43 PM »

Looks OK.. the bikes pictured have 18's..... its not like the tire grows a substantial amount. and the 16" versus 18" tire difference was minimal from what I recall.

In fact: 180/65-16 = 25.21"
180/55-18 = 25.79"
________________________

Difference: 0.57"

If I'm doing the math right... (width * aspect ratio * 2) / 25.4 (mm to inch conversion) + wheel size = tire height in inches

141_starlifter · « **Reply #45 on:** March 24, 2011, 03:09:46 PM »

Man I hope you are right because this kit is so cool I hate not to use it. Does any one know it there was a difference between the CVO Street Glide or Ultra have the same size wheel as the CVO Road Glide. The Kit I have is the 3.5 inch Bagger Werx not the 3 inch FBI any thought if this will make a big difference

considering the difference in tire size is about 1/2" that may be why FBI uses a 3" versus the 3.5" Baggerwerks does... ?

141_starlifter · « **Reply #47 on:** March 24, 2011, 03:32:58 PM »

Yeah that is what I am afraid of. I would love to find some one who has done the Bagger Werx Kit.

141_starlifter · « **Reply #48 on:** March 28, 2011, 03:30:52 PM »

Just found out the Bagger Werx kit will not Fit a 2009 CVO (18inch wheels) So I am putting it up for sale so I can get the FBI kit. If anyone is interested I have a new in the box Bagger Werxs 3.5" drop seat kit. This is the 2 up Corbin seat and the ABS relocation module. It is unpainted. Not sure what to ask for price because it looks like they are selling at a discount on E-Bay for $1,700.00 with out the ABS plate. Shoot me an offer if any one is interested. Just thought I would offer it hear first if I do not get any intrest I will list it for sale on the classified page.
