seat refurbish/replace RAISE

drstimpy · April 28th, 2010, 12:15 PM

I am looking to RAISE (I have long legs) the height of the stock seat and move the stepped part back a couple of inches. Any ideas? I was wondering about just replacing the foam with something firmer...
I'd love to hear suggestions about where and how to get this done or potentially good aftermarket seats. I have been fine with the stock seats on all my other bikes so I'm not especially sensitive. I ride bicycles a lot so any motorcycle seat looks good to me!
