[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 30535, member: 2708"] thanks Bill The new dimensions are: ground to seat (at midpoint of seat length) - 31 inches seat to footpeg at midpoint of seat length - 17 3/4 inches midpoint of seat length to a lateral line drawn thru the fork tube cap centres, measured horizontally - 31 inches The footpeg centres are one inch ahead of a vertical line down from the midpoint of seat length. The clip ons are up as high as they will go, right against the underside of the fork crown at 34 inches from the ground, then pivoted back until they are in a comfortable position. The Solo seat is only 14 inches long. It is made for a 98- 2002 Triumph Daytona. Because of the curved shape of the seat and the fact that I raised it up a bit for comfort, the seat overlays the tank by 1 and a half inches. This means the seat midpoint is 5 and one half inches behind the tank. All of the changes helped mostly to unlock the legs from a very cramped position but also rolled my body back some so that the weight on the wrists is reduced. I find that I can now sit on the bike while making motor noises for an entire evening, whereas with the previous arrangement I could only make it thru one or two songs on the radio. My back and legs feel fine afterward, but my larnyx gets quite sore. Glen [/QUOTE]
