I recently bought a Harley Ultra Classic and am now riding with the Ft. Lauderdale Drill Team, so even tho I love the other two, we are selling them so we can find one that is better suited to my wife.

We did customize the seat, and shaved some of the foam off the top, but even before doing that, I had lots of spare inches. I believe the stock seat height was 24". That 600 had plenty of get-up-and-go for around town, and was good for shorter highway hauls. She'd get a bit buzzy on the highway if I kept her at 72 MPH, so I didn't like to keep her at those speeds for more than an hour or so. ISO grips helped a lot!

We then took the seat of completely and had her sit on a towel on the frame, still to wide. The biggest problem is that the side covers over the battery and the tool compartment are wider than the seat. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. She is heartbroken over selling and is looking for any options there might be.
