I finally ordered all my parts, now I have two decent questions.

After 110-120kms... I even notice vibration in my foot pegs.... Which is annoying. My hands are only noticeable after long rides (ordered Avon ISP grips)

Second: I'm a short dude at 5'7.... My legs are perfect but my arms are fully extended... Which concerns me, it doesn't physically bother me, it just seems odd.... I almost paid a custom shop to put a block in my seat to move me forward.... But for the cost, I was worried it would not work out perfect

So, I accept any suggestions on both concerns!

It's been said that the Mustang and Corbin(?) move you up and forward 1" each? That's actually scary to taller (5'11 here), as i would feel a bit awkward being pushed forward at this point.

The vibration in your feet is a tough one to fix. The Vibration in your hands may get "slightly" worse with the ISO grips as it takes out the weighted ends of your bars. By slight, i mean you wont notice a difference. The ISO grips did help my hand cramps for an extra 30 miles, but the hand cramps still came. I do not have a windshield, so regardless, I was battling the wind and gripping tighter than I should. I would recommend a Throttle Boss to attach to your ISO Grips. Something so cheap, but it makes it to where your bottom palm is a resting spot for the throttle grip. I've only tested it in town so far, but i can let go of the grip completely, and keep a steady speed with just my lower palm.

I'm 5'7 too and with the mustang seat I don't have my arms completely stretched now

 

[schimbo stryker]

yeah the mustang seat will push you forward.

The only problem that I can see with the seat is, that at 5'7" your legs are just about perfect on the pegs. If you move forward on the bike you'll need to move the pegs forward also. The peg kit are 3" I believe?

Correct.

I'm still working on getting the fit the way I want it. So far I have it lowered 1", L&M seat which lowers it even more and back a little, then been messing around with different bars to adjust for the reach. When I made the first set of bars they fit good now that I'm changing things around, I'll be making a new set.

What I was getting at with the seat mod is that if it moves you forward 1 1/2"- 2" and you move pegs 3" you may not like that and have a different set of issues.

I did no felt that much of a difference with the pegs when I had my seat changed to the mustang

After installing the Mustang seat I needed the 3" foot extensions but I'm 5'10". For me the Avon ISO grips are so much better than stock. No hand cramps here even after riding over 200 miles in 4hrs. Key to reducing hand cramps is to grip lightly.

This is what I was worried about, I don't want to spend $200.... To realize it hurt more then it helped.... I personally do not think moving me ahead a little will require different pegs. I would just like some bend in the arm, but at the same time... I like sitting deep and back, lol

Wouldn't the custom apholstery guy accomplish the same thing at a fraction of the cost?

I'll look into the seat, thx all
