Hi all- I need a little shorter seat. What seats do you vertically challenged riders use. If you modified the stock seat foam, how much better or worse was the tushy rest? Thanks
Go for a new seat foam under the existing or go for a new seat pad and cover. There are a few companies doing it now. 1) Guts racing http://www.gutsracing.com 2) Renazco Racing http://www.renazco.com 3) XPC http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3775
I'm going with a Renazco for my SM610. I have never read a negative review on a Renazco, and that is what helped me decide. Everything I've read about them has been really positive. The only drawback is the long wait. At 5'4", I'm short, but the more I ride with the stock seat, the more I think I will keep the new seat close to the stock height. I can only get one foot down, but the distance between the seat and the footpegs is important to me. If the seat is too low, that can make me feel cramped up. Might be something to think about...
My new XPC seat should be at the house when I get home. Ride report in a few days. Should have been here a few days ago, but I'm (way) off the beaten path.

Thanks all. I am going to go back to guts tomorow to see if he can make it a little lower. I currently have one of his gel seats, but it is about 1" taller than stock.
