Hello marrekjols, welcome to the Club !  Smiley

I am Maurizio, the only Italian on this Forum, and my bike is an '88 4-speed named Barabbas  Cool

Hey Marrekjols I think you'll have to either find a low profile sportster seat that can easily be modified to fit the LS650 or make one to get a seat closer to the fender.

Marius, operating on the frame is... risky.

May I suggest you consider "forward controls" so you may stretch your legs ?

It doesnt do a huge change but can shave your seat down. i can get a pic of my bike for you but its not as "bobber" as i would've liked it to look.new seat pan is the best option i think. im more then willing to hear everyones ideas on it.
