[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1161871, member: 27619"] My experience of Russell seats (two, on two bikes) is that they don't raise you as much as legend would have it, at least once you are in the sitting position. Maybe 1/2" (which might matter to some). Actually, I rather wish the one on my FJR raised me a bit more, and when I get it re-furb'd, I'll ask for that. The real problem is not the height, but the width. Compared to stock, and most aftermarket seats, they are very wide. They are designed to support right from the outside of your butt across the entire seating area, so the width is necessary. This can cause serious "feet-down" issues for the vertically challenged. One thing they can do is narrow the nose of the seat so folk can slide forward as they come to a halt. Anyway ... worth saying but now back to our regular scheduled programming "Best Farkle" [/QUOTE]
