Default RKC + Le Pera Cherokee

I'm thinking of getting le pera cherokee for my RKC... But looking at the pictures in le pera catalog, I got a bit worried if it's gonna move me forward compared to stock seat, just wondering if anybody has experience of the seat. Not really worried about a$$ comfort, I'll fix that w/ airhawk for long haul if needed,.

For reference, I'm 6' w/ 33" inseam and I could actually use couple of inches extra leg room w/ stock seat.

It would be nice to see pics of the seat in 09-> frame.

Got the cherokee, for reference in case someone else is considering the same seat: it gives more room, maybe 1-2 inches, there's no way I could use crashbar mounted higway pegs anymore. Also sits lower, maybe inch or 2 as well.



Sorry for bad picture... 4 bikes in the garage, no room to get far enough to get a decent pic.
