When I purchased the ST1300 from the previous owner last week, I asked him about the seat height adjustment settings. He looked perplexed and said there were none. So, I drive the bike 400 miles home with aching knees, butt and wrists. My first thoughts were that the ST1300's ergonomics were not for my size. Yesterday, thanks to the fine answers here, I was able to lift the seat and discovered that it was on the lowest setting. The PO was a lot shorter than me and that explained that. SO, I raised the front to the top setting and the rear to the middle setting. It made a world of difference on the knees and not sliding forward.
Now, I want to explore other comfort options too. Can someone tell me what a MCL seat riser is? And what are Helibars? Does raising the handlebars really relieve wrist pain? I also read on the forum that some have attached blades for stretching out legs. Does anyone have experience or advice on that? Also, What are opinions about the aftermarket Sargent seat? Do any of the aftermarket seats add height or does it stay the same?
