have an 07 Uly - and am wondering if the lower seat is actually lower than the factory seat - something in the back of my mind tells me the 07 factory was an 06 lowered. Anyone actually ever get one of these puppys and try it out? |

yes it is lower. search and you'll find a wealth of info here with photos of them compared. fyi, i stayed with the '07 with a 30" inseam. it is more comfy than the 06 low gel. |

something in the back of my mind tells me the 07 factory was an 06 lowered. Not sure if I'm reading your post correctly, but if you check the part number on the low seat on the Buell website - the digits after the dash -06 indicate the year model. There is only one low seat and it came out before the 07 Ulys. The '07 seat is NOT the same as the '06 low seat. We've had all three seats, here's the seat comparison from a past thread: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=142838&post=760948#POST760948 (Message edited by Ulywife on July 10, 2007) (Message edited by Ulywife on July 10, 2007) |

I have the '06 low seat... It's not super comfortable for long rides but pretty decent for shorter rides (a couple hours). It's a God send compared to the tall seat for dirt riding. I've heard the '07 seat is more comfortable... I'd be willing to trade... |

Growl - the 07 stock seat is just over $100. Much cheaper that the 06 low and much more comfortable! |

that is a matter of taste, I have both and perfer the 06 low over the 07, the 06 low has a shorter seat area and really holds me on hard acceleration, also the 07 has sort of a hard line where the front stops and starts the back plateau, that bugs me after awhile. |

Thanks Ulywife. (Where can you get the seat for $100+?) Even if so... Cavi, would you want to trade an '07 for an '06? |

Growl - Check with Andy at Appleton in our sponsor section. BadWeBr's get 10% discount with Andy. Mark - part number I have is for the orange/black seat. Since your Uly is black, I'm guessing you want the all black seat. |
