Raised the seat

[egelasi]

I had my welder son fabricate some bits to raise my seat about 2 inches. I'm 6'9" and the regular seat height puts my knees above my hips. It was finally starting to wear on me after 50,000 miles. I like the look of this. Reminds me of a 40's Harley with the seat over the tank. This is the way everybody used to ride!

You should find an old H-D Buddy seat. That would put you up there.

I love that buddy seat but they are hard to find without a bike underneath them.

[Shores]

Wow! Great job. You make that bike look small!

[egelasi]

When I saw that picture I asked my wife if the bike really looks that small. She just nodded her head. I had never seen a picture with me on the bike before.

[Ironman]

Yeah, it is so striking that it looks Photoshopped.

Funny you say that. I bought a Suzuki 550L a few years back as a "do I still like riding" purchase. My wife said I looked big on it. This explains what she was saying. Ad long as you can make it fit you to your satisfaction it doesn't matter what the rest see.

[DEEPHATE]

Yeah that really looks little on you. Aren't your legs cramped too? I'm not as tall as you but now I want to see what I look like on mine. Ride on...

I'm 6'4" and I'm told that I make it look small......you win hands down!

[Chooch]

You need to install floor board extensions to allow a little more leg room. It looks like yours are mounted in the stock position.

[D-Fresh]

Do you have any pics of what it looks like underneath? I feel my seat is a little low also and wouldn't mind seeing how it was done.
