Any recommendations?

seat
How many ks on it, I found my stock seat **** until about 1200 to 1500kms or 1000mls, then it was good and rode it 1600ks home no issues.
but I was cramped and put a tallboy seat on it and extended forward controls. The tall put you back couple inches and up slightly, very comfy seat. If you want to leave floor boards or stock location controls a tallboy on its own will be good for 5"7 to 6 foot. Over 6 foot you'd want extended controls aswell. 6'4 and tallboy plus 3 inch fowards is still not quite enough but it's OK.
