Just got a tall seat - world of difference

Post by jcf66 »

I just put the tall Rockster seat on my 2004 r1150r and took it for a spin. MAN what a noticeable difference! At 5' 11" with long legs, I was just too cramped with the lower stock seat. If anyone needs a low seat, shoot me a note - I'd consider selling it (make me an offer) or trading it for something (Laminar lip, Wunderlich wind deflector, peg lowering kit, tank bag, etc).

An interesting difference in human proportions!
I'm 6' and 1 1/2" but have a 31" inside leg. I find the standard seat ok and my thighs are pretty well horizontal- which is comfortable for me. And I can get both feet flat on the ground.

How would I find out which seat do I have ? (low, normal, high)?? bought a bike used & once in the while catch myself on the thought that I could use a taller seat.
