I already posted this in the vintage section, but thought it might be more appropriate here. I want to lower my seat platform as much as possible. I know NPD now offers a Cougar riser that is 1" lower than the stock 66. Others have mentioned using a 69 Fastback riser, but after much searching, I can't find any info on how much lower they are than stock 66.

Does anyone know which is lower?

I know I can just cut up my stock risers to get as low as I want, I'm just trying to determine if the Cougar/69 options might be a simpler solution to get what I'm after.

I don't need extra leg room (I'm 5'9"), I just want a lower seating position.

I put in the 67 Cougar seat risers, moved it back about 1 ", welded them in, and also use the 2" seat extenders. I also had built the 2" extension on the back of each one, and moved the front mounting hole back 2" also. Under each new hole is a welded nut so now all I need to do is bolt the seats in from the top. I'm 6'1" and I have no issues with legroom now or headroom.

The cougar ones are shorter and basically fit. Do not move them backwards though. The front of the seat support is a structural member that supports the rear of the front floor support that holds the front frame rails.

Thanks! How much shorter are the Cougar ones than the 69 Fastback ones? I know the Cougar ones are pretty much exactly 1 inch shorter than the stock risers. I have heard that the 69 risers are anywhere from 1/2 inch shorter to almost 2 inches shorter than stock 66 risers.

Can't seem to get a clear answer. Just trying to find out which to order!

Dunnow on the difference between them and 69 fastback ones. The nice thing is the cougar ones are available from most parts places now so there is a little competition in prices. There are also two manufacturers of them.
