Looking at getting a low seat...

How does the streetfighter compare?

The streetfighter is not as low as the low seat but many times more comfortable.

Depends on preference. I have both (well streetfighter, low, and stocker)

I generally prefer the Low. to the point were when I moved I did a 500 mile day on the low and shipped the Streetfighter to my new house.

The Streetfighter has a smaller deep pocket that is comfortable for me for smaller rides, about a tank of gas at that.

I like to move around some, the low is alot easier to hang off of and slide around in the seat. It has a deep pocket that is set farther back then the streetfighter.

I know the height difference is only about an inch maybe 1.5 inches but you can definitely tell.

Also noticed it seams easier for me to bring the front en up on the low, I think it shifts my weight farther backwards then the streetfighter does.

I might be temped to sell it in the future. Only reason I keep it is variety is the spice of life and a little change is nice now and then.

I have both. The low is good for around town (less than 30 minutes). But over that you are going to want the streetfighter. It is much softer and not much taller. Between the two I would definitely go with the streetfighter. If you do want one look up St. Paul Harley store on ebay. Thats where I got mine for 145.

How about a scg seat compared to a streetfighter?

I have a select now, it holds me in but IMO has too much of a edge on the back..

Tedd, Scg and low are the same seat. Let me know if you want, I have a low/scg I was planning to sell.
