    Reasons NOT to purchase Power Commander V ?

    second best farkle on the bike. The first is a Russell seat. But that said I run the Holeshot full system.

    FJR SEAT

    I have had three aftermarket seats and the Corbin was the worst of all. All were ride ins. It was hard and never broke in. I love my Russell. Alter your stock seat. I know some that did their own and lowered it enough for the shorter inseam.
