Reply #3 - 05/16/13 at 04:16:59 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.

Reply #12 - 05/16/13 at 22:18:07 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.
