[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1415187, member: 13598"] IMO skip the Russell. You're short and a Russell seat would be the worst thing you can buy right now. In fact, for me, it was the worst seat I ever bought. You may want to look into a Yamaha Comfort seat. It's shaped a lot like the stock except the front edges have no welts and are curved/sloped instead of squared off. My 30" inseam loves the Comfort- with the seat in the high position, by scooting fwd a little I can flatfoot on both sides if I stretch a little. My bike is NOT lowered at all. Also, from the marks on the frame it looks like you might need a seat height adjuster thingy. It gets removed when a Corbin seat is installed. It should be pictured in your owners manual. If you don't have a manual, it can be downloaded free here -> [URL="https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/motorsports/owners-manuals"]https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/motorsports/owners-manuals[/URL] I hoped you noted from above- Gen1 ('03-'05) seats are different from all others.
