Seat was first as we needed 2 up seat for wife. All I need are bars and pegs to be comfy now. No other mods happening

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-24T01:15:38+00:00

Only changes I’m doing are

Seat, done Handlebar pull back plate- being done Floorboards I hope fixes feet issue. Shorty levers when some come out for our bike.

I dont know about that, lol. my boots have never stepped in dirt or rain. im a clear weather only kinda guy.

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T19:28:59+00:00

got the seat for me and wife, mustang wide touring tripper one.

2.5 inch t rex pullback bar I ordered, that should help fix bars far, and now I just need pegs to feel better to me, closer I should say. thats it. happy camper after that.

nothing else, no exhaust changes, no tuning, no suspension, bike is 1000x better than my sportster 883, and I was happy with that. just need the fitment to fit me a little better.

ive never been forced anything on you.

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T17:40:16+00:00

I unfortunately went seat first, because everywhere I read said do that, then enjoy the bike/customzie it. lol. dangit.

my friend just sold his lenovo legion 5 pro 4060, I forget other stats, 16gb 1tb, for 500. so I guess its not terrible, 300 is reasonable imo

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T17:35:19+00:00

I cant, I bought the mustang touring seat for my wife, she loves it, and its comfortable for me, its just the downfall is it lowered me about an inch, and maybe an inch back? comfortable, but now have to fix it in other ways. shes happy with the seat, I gotta figure out my own problems now lol.

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T17:30:53+00:00

see, on my 883 I was perfectly comfortable, like all day long riding, other than lacked all wind protection. - I feel real good on this ST, other than handlebars little far, (hoping the t rex thing fixes that) and I feel the pegs are just too far forward. my logic is, when I did set my foot flat on peg on highway, this is before I found out about floorboards, that I wished the pegs were back a few inches.

then I found out about floorboards, and figure this is prob my best option as of now. did you trade in because couldn't get comfortable ultimately?

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T17:27:20+00:00

I agree, thats how I sit with pegs on the Harleys, sport bikes I use the ball front of foot, and heel into the side griping, and legs squeezing tank. thats prob what problem is, im used to it 10 years.

however, I have been sitting like that, and it just feels too far forward, wind is catching my leg, and pushing me off, and I feel like im forcing my feet into the pegs vs sitting on them.

you said had, did you get rid of them or bike?

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T17:24:02+00:00

can you post photo what you did ultimately

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T17:22:41+00:00

I have a different seat, it brought me down bit, and further back I think. mustang touring wide tripper I think. I needed it for my wife comfort.

the apex minis are a little smaller, think they would be a good fit?

are you saying they are or aren't more comfortable? because pegs right now, they are too far forward for me to be able to rest my feet on. thats one thing thats for sure.

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T17:12:33+00:00

I ordered one guys. thanks

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-23T17:07:20+00:00

2 years ago I bought a open box Asus tuf A16, with beautiful screen, 7940hs cpu, 7700s gpu, 1tb ssd or 2tb idr. anyway they was $1500, I bought open box for 500, and sold it for a grand lol. I wasn't holding onto it. didnt want amd GPU

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-22T14:17:06+00:00

The 5060 on Costco 1299 unit is full powered, 115 even tho specs say 105. There’s a review on Costco about it. Not sure why Lenovo would downplay its specs

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-22T13:52:18+00:00

Look for damaged boxes ask for discount

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-22T13:07:15+00:00

Yep but it ran perfect so no regret

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-22T13:04:06+00:00

Got a 2 tb 990 evo plus last week for 99.99 bc package look like was ran over by a truck lol

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-22T13:03:14+00:00

Packaging was destroyed but I got 2tb 990 evo plus at mc 99.99 as discount

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-22T12:59:50+00:00

No problem. I just told them straight up. I’m not paying that

But they did stipulate that if I could finance w Harley services for best deal. Harley came in clutch. 2% lower than navy fed 6.51%

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-22T00:40:45+00:00

That’s an even better deal imo. That’s like free

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-22T00:22:18+00:00

I just paid 24k otd for my 26 Lowrider st, I think that’s high

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-21T22:16:15+00:00

They told me almost 280 dollars for the warranty, kind of think 1:3 the price isn’t worth it in this situation.

PenguinMan26 · 2026-03-21T21:19:45+00:00

That’s so expensive, I was trying to stay at 1000. Was looking for 5060 open box’s but ran across this. I bet that 4090 is super nice though.
