Hello everyone. I'm looking at possibly picking up a 05 1300. I test rode it the other day, and found that I would slide towards the tank. It has a very nice seat, leather wrapped, and is a Rick Mayer seat. I had the owner put the seat in it's lowest position, as I'm 5'10" and thought I may be able to flat foot it, but still could not. He had it in the middle position in the front, and he's shorter than I by at least 2".
I was poking around on the forums here, and found that it may be possible to put the front adjuster in the middle, and put the rear in a bottom spot, to perhaps level out the seat. Can this also be done with this aftermarket seat? I also saw mention of going to a MCL bracket, but after looking at that, i'm not really sure how that would help with making the seat level out, just go higher.
If I could get this Rick Mayer seat to level out, I think i'd be pretty happy with it.
Thanks for the tips.
