Hi all,

I've had my 2002 ex-police ST 1100 since 2015. I seldom ride, in part, because I've always struggled with the lacking level of comfort and forward riding position. My only modification from stock is a set of 2.5" Rox bar risers that I've recently had installed. It's offered a little respite but not much. I just find that I lean too far forward, and that after a ride of even only a short distance my wrists are sore and my back is sore. I'm 178cm. Maybe I just have short arms, I dunno, but I'm wondering whether I try one last ditch effort for a comfort / positon improvement, or I sell and buy something else, but  I do love my old girl. Any suggestions on other adjustments such as seat, pegs etc that may assist to upright me a bit. Cheers.

Get your seat modified, this is the difference in height with mine, about 40mm

Yorkie:
second pic, this is the stock seat

Andrew_02ST:
Thanks Yorkie,

So as in look at a lower seat?

Brock:
Easies way is to see your local motor trimmer, and have them re do the seat for you...
