I am waiting to acquire a lil more funds before I buy my Uly and dont know if the 07 is going to be worth the upgrade. note: I have test ridden the 06 My main concerns were: -Is the seat as comfortable as the 06? -What effect will the new front springs have on ride comfort and handling? All of the other changes made seem to be positives but the seat issue is what worries me the most. It will be possible I assume to fit a 06 seat if I want thought, right? Any comments, concerns, thoughts, suggestions or any other dialog greatly appreciated. |

The 2007 seat is supposedly not retro fittable?? |

You mean a 07 seat will not fit on a 06 right? If that is what you mean I agree. But will a 06 seat fit on a 07? |

Assuming the seat *is* interchangeable, it seems like about a $400 cost to upgrade to the '07 spec. Might be able to get a smokin' deal on on '06 that will more than make up for it. You will have to consider the difference in depreciation. |

'07 seat will not work on '06, no idea about the other way. Oh, and that is just what hd-net said. I am betting with the spacer it actually will work. The airbox (internal) has three holes on each upper side and requires a different calibration. Usable on the '06 The TPS is different and is not usable on the '06 The springs are progressive and you can use them on the '06 That's all I remember from looking this morning. |

07 seat IS RETROFITABLE which means it will fit on the 06 this is definitave from buell, to my dealership i work at, to ya'll stop saying it isn't. Dealers are taking big losses on the Uly's if they still have em, get a deal on an 06 the current front suspension is great, fully adjustable all the jazz. |
