Dude I don't know whether to take you seriously or not but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. You seem to ask a lot of common sense questions but maybe you're just a chatty type that lacks confidence so you seek input from others, no laws against that. Obviously the troll that's stalking you wants to be the president of your fan club. I think you've done a pretty good job of tolerating him/her/it. This is after all an HD forum, not an AOL chat room. I'm here to learn, get advice and make friends. Said troll was probably a bully in it's younger years. No doubt I'll get flamed for this reply or hopefully added to it's block list. I don't use a block list. Block lists are for those with no self control. Ok I've yammered enough on this, my apologies.
Just my 2 yen...ride safe and have a fantastic day! :-)

I dig sitting at my local and talking bike. Sometimes an A-hole walks in and tries to ruin a peaceful time for everyone else with his belligerence. The difference between this forum and at the bar is that the loud-mouthed fool usually leaves the bar missing some teeth. Too bad we don't have an equivalent here.
OP, to answer your question: Raising the seat will make you more comfortable in my opinion. I put a fat tractor seat with 5" springs and my butt is as good as gold and no leg cramp on the long hauls. I'm 6'4 and it was the best mod I've done for comfort.
Happy trails.

My legs are always below my butt. My arms are under my shoulders. Where the hell else would they be? My toes are located at the end of my feet. (in front)
