I love it, but my goal was to increase the space between the pegs and seat (I'm near 6'4"), as my aging knees were protesting. I topped off the FRP seat with 20mm foam to gain a little more space even. It's worked out well enough for me that I'm going to sell off the original parts. The seat->peg distance isn't an issue for me so much on street riding, but I'm hoping to more track days anyhow, now I'm no longer traveling to work regularly (I bought it a couple of months before the 1st lockdown to commute on).

One of the other guys I met at Cadwell was more average height, and had swapped his "Moto2" seat (same as what I'm using) to a CBR one I think, as he found it a bit lower. I'm pretty sure he was still using the same subframe as me though.
