Well, here I am with a new seat (Saddleman) and I am afraid I am quite disappointed. The Saddleman seat is actually taller than the original seat!! What I didn't realise is that the Saddleman seat has a slope from the front of the seat to the back (bum rest) which actually makes it taller than the original, at the front, unless you have really long arms, and you can sit back into the seat.
So, now I have a $700 seat that I can't do anything with.
Any offers????
