I just cancelled the Le Pera solo upfront seat i have ordered i think i am going to be pushed too far forward - all in want is 1 inch forward and 2 inches lower so i could feel as if i am in the bike not on the bike.

I have 30 inch inseam am I considered too short (I'm between 5'7" and 5'8") ?

I have a 32? inseam, I feel that the seat not only moved me down into the bike,putting me closer to the bars, but it also moved me forward. Throw in some 1-1/2" riser spacers and the position of the bars are perfect, so you don't have to ruin the intended pro street look of the bike with ape hangers.

If I did 4500mi on a Slim going from Quebec City Canada to Tyler Texas then New Orleans back to Quebec City in 7 days I don't think the breakout would be much less comfortable

I bought the Breakout Reduced Reach Seat, and it put me closer to the bars and ground. Love it. But it was so uncomfortable I had to install a gel pad in it, now I'm good to go!
