Unsure about the new seat
I tried out the seat today and I have to admit I am unsure. I love the look but it sits me closer to the tank. I thought I would like that but it doesn't compliment how I like my bars positioned. Dunno. I am gonna try a different bar position tomorrow.

Does your leg position feel better now, or is that more cramped too? Looks like you already have your handlebar rolled forward quite a bit - not sure how much more adjustment you got there. Agreed, seat looks great though!

I can tell I have more bend in my leg. I tried tilting the bars forward a little more and it makes it very hard to handle at low speed. I swear I am one adjustment away from going back to stock bars and starting over.

You must be like me and like scooting as far back in the seat as you can. My guess is you are long legged as well. I finally figured out taking action to extend my feet was the solution instead of the fighting seats. Extend the controls if you like the stretched leg feel. The only reason I wanted to sit so far back from the tank was to make my leg reach longer.

Maybe I have it figured out. It was a subtle bar adjustment and the addition of some pegs with stirrups (thanks Sapper!). Maybe this is resolved but I may still go back to stock or drag bars eventually.

Yep the stirrups help a lot. I set mine to feel almost like a floorboard. I can move my feet way forward on the pegs now to stretch my legs out. Kinda weird how that works but it does. I have kury ISO stirrups on mine along with large ISO pegs.
