I have the 'narrow' seat. The sitting area is flatter than the stock seat is. It's approx the same height wise, as stock, but it's thinner between the legs and the slide slope is angled differently. I'm 5'4 with 28" inseam. I think the narrow seat is getting me closer to the ground than the stock seat. Before I got the narrow seat, Rojo_grande did take my stock seat off and shave it down. There's not much extra foam to take out, to make the seat shorter and skinnier though. We did get a bread knife after it, staple the cover back on and I rode it until Rojo was kind enough to pick me up the narrow one, while he was in CA for the Baja ride.

2LZ folks at work used Spencer, a guy out of Florida who will redo your seat. Cost is under 100 bucks!
http://greatdaytoride.com/Home_Page.php Turns out many people from work have sent their seats down to that guy. He's got a really good rep. The seat height for me is fine. I'm comfortable with the height, but not the set up. Buying a tall seat, then spending money on a lowering , then risers....it's like an upgrade that never ends. Once i start going off-road, i'll be standing up on the pegs, so I'll just deal with it for now. I would like to make an adjustment but husband has a shorter inseam than i do and he's comfortable. I'll have to buy a 2nd bike or 2 seats LOL marzhere, Thanks a million for the feedback. Knowing that now, will allow me keep it in mind. It isn't that $250 is expensive. I mean I work, I'm not broke, but when you think -of the overall cost of the bike, $250 for a seat is a bit much. lol |

Rania, I tell folks to not think of it as a $4000 bike. Think of it as a $5500 bike with a $1500 head start on accessories.
