I'm having a bad experience with Seat Concepts standard kit on my CB500X.This kit is way different in the material used for the cover.The foam I am sure is the same as whats in my CB500X kit.It softens up with body heat, and eventually leaves my fat ass riding the seat pan.

I am also looking to lower my hawk
I think the 280 mm mono is the way to go
But notice some spring rating were 1200,
1000, 400 etc. So what is the best option ?
I can only assume to choose the lower
Rating and adjust the preload. I appreciate
any input thanks.

I'm 5 foot 8 and i touch the ground just fine on the hawk 250. when I very first started riding, I felt like I had to tippy toe and was very unused to the feeling of being high. However I can touch the ground flat footed easy. I'll put my feet right behind the foot pegs and keep them close to the bike.

I usually sit very close to the tank unless I'm riding solo on the freeway or something.

Some people have found the 280mm to short. causes the rear wheel to bottom out. http://chinariders.net/showthread.ph...t=280mm&page=2


I think he went with a 300mm.

I put the aftermarket seat from csc on mine. lowers the seat height by 2 1/4 inches. Did the job for me. I am 5.5.
