Got a question, I know there are a lot of threads, but they don't seem to answer this particular question. I would like to increase the height of my curvy seat a bit (let's say about an inch) to get a more comfortable knee angle. I don't want any heavy solution nor an ugly one.
Anyone got any tips or experience with this? Some off the shelves saddles perhaps, or adding some washers underneath the seat perhaps?

Get the seat foam modified
+1 to extra foam on the seat.
Also, if you have the S model then the naked footpeg hangers are a wee bit lower.

Thanks. Gonna look for some good addresses to do it. :thumright:

I do. What's everyone's take on clearance, am a bit worried about that. I got a Kawa shock which raised the rear a little. so that does help.

Nice roads not too far in the Eifel and the Ardennes.
