I have the regular Tripper. Great seat. Looks good on the bike. Slimmer than the stock, but it is much more comfortable than the stock seat.

Skorch you runnin mids or forward controls?I put forwards on my scoot and have plenty of room(5"10")I meant about 1/2 " up no real change back to me,but it could be different on the fast back the solo doesn't have a deep bucket so there is room to move back some.
