Yea i had my guy cut a bunch out of the back so i could slide back further, it was way better. Other ideas, are the Harley seat for tall guys or the Lepera bare bones sits you way back but at the expense of comfort.
Since I just got this bike I will see how it works when I get the Windvest windshield mounted. That may fix the problem. Below 50 MPH it does not seem to be an issue so far. I always have a Windvest windshield on my bike.
For as little as $50 plus shipping Mean City Cycles in Va will mod your seat.
I've been running the bare bones and just put the stock seat back on for a long ride this weekend and I forgot how comfortable it actually is after doing nearly 3,000 miles on the bare bones. lol I'll probably ship mine off soon because even at only 5' 10", it does put you to far forward making you feel cramped.

Was your issue with the seat positioning or what? I'm not sure how the windshield ties in?
