I just installed my new Mustang Wide VentageTouring seat on the Sportster yesterday and the dang thing sits up at least an inch higher. Dang, now my feet don't sit as flat on the ground as they used to with the stock seat. I read on the Mustang web site that their seats will sit a half to an inch higher then the stock seats due to the more foam and better seat construction. I guess I will just have to live it but does anyone have any input on this and their experience with a new seat and any suggestions?
