I've seen the mod to level the seat by altering the 'bumpers' on the back of the seat to lower it. Anybody try to raise the front to level? I'm 6' 4" so that would probably be the better way to go for me.

Something has been done about the same as what you are talking about.pnwrider said:I am bring back this old tread because after searching I still do not see an answer to the OP.
Has anyone tried creating a spacer for between the frame and the rear tank mount which also holds the front seat latch. I played around with this last weekend and I think by raising up the whole latch assembly and the front 2 stock seat spacers one could get the seat level with out changing the back from the high position.
Because the tank gets raised up in this process extra rubber spacers would be needed for the tank supports as well.
I am thinking about coming with a spacer this weekend and just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it before I try to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks, I will look into this.japako said:Something has been done about the same as what you are talking about.
Put two washers under the metal locking tang on the seat. Next I put two felt pads, like those used for chair feet, on the black plastic piece where the front seat rubbers sit.
In my opinion this was not enough for me so I did the Road Star rubbers also.
Hope that makes sense..
I didn't follow that one. I'm old but I'm slow.bonzer2u said:very quick very easy way would be to swap the stock(long) rear bumper seat pan pads with the shorties, that worked for me.....
I think he was talking about using the Road Star bumpers in place of the Tenere's. That works well but raising the front also, is even better.havingfun said:I didn't follow that one. I'm old but I'm slow.
