Default Another Seat Q

Will be picking up a bike hopefully sometime this week. Will probably be a 06 1200C. Am looking at changing the seat to a Up Front Silouette LT Le Pera. I'm right at 6'. Anyone have this seat and like it? Said it moved you up to 3 in closer to the bars and I will probably have drag bars so....was curious as to what your guys' comments were....thanks

Default RE: Another Seat Q

Take a look at my photo gallery. I just put on a LePera LT soloseat. Didn't really move me up which is good. I am 5'10" and my legs are still bent more than I'd like. I also put on drag bars. The arm streach is comfortable. If your 6' you definitly don't want a seat that will move you closer. (When you said 1200c I'm assuming you have forward controls.)
