But you would know that already .. stick to red wires and blue wires.
Plus not putting the same amount of washers front and back you have altered the angle of the seat base rear lower when most seem to want to go up.

Um, without wishing to get too personal, how big (or small) are your gonads!

Nicely picked up Andy!

The beauty of altering the seat angle is, you can try it, see if you like it, and then alter it again! My observation of Steven's seats, most are higher at the front. But, you can do ANYTHING that suits you. xxx

Well technically he might be right, if you are riding with your balls out perched on your seat like little lords, and you slam your brakes on hard enough you could end up seeing how small a space they can fit into there.

Start with the correct size washers too… maybe Pierobon have them?

I guess, depends on bollock shape too. If, they are more disc shaped, than round, they may well slip between the gaps easier? I'm not sure which is preferable though. Maybe Spider make an adapter plate, to alter the shape for you?

Return of the Washers!

Guys, I added 18mm of spacers to my seat bracket. It wasn't a problem. I added 6x3mm at the front (fitted longer bolts to accommodate), and 2x3mm at the rear. No issues

I'm off to Spain end of the month, so will try it out.

Washers to the rescue! About the only thing I could foresee is that these longer bolts/spacer will be putting more leverage on the bolt holes and could put excess stress on the cast alu subframe. If I were to do this as a permanent solution I’d cross brace/box in the spacers and build an infill.

That’s cos your rear is too low or you bypassed the abs

I wish! Unfortunately, it's just your chat/comments

Ah well, if only you could take feedback I see even your mates. are referring to you washer thing as 'a bodge'....still have a latte..

One man’s bodge is another man’s banger!

Seems we aren’t the first to try this…

I came to this party so late and I’m sad about it.

For the record, seat height (whatever that means) has exactly zero to do with where your knees end up, unless, that is, the seat you ordered is extra fancy and either changes rearset position or changes the length of your tibias.

You'll get used to it, these guys pontificate over the finest details of a nothingburger.

Agree that seat height doesn’t change the knee height. But it does affect where your thigh goes. Higher seat will allow me to get my thigh higher into the notch in the tank which is the end goal.

SD, getting the seat right is an important part of ergonomics, I'm just used to whatever the Manu supplies. I did get a comfort seat on the '99 which made a positive difference since it was an extra 30mm's from memory and I've got long legs.
Most "real" race seats are nothing more than a layer or two of closed cell foam glued onto a fibreglass seat and tail section combo. Comfort is not high on the list for a 10 or 20 lap event! The important thing is the right amount of grip and support for acceleration and the tuck. I think getting a 3rd party to help with the ergo's is a really good idea, they can stand back and point out the obvious adjustments which are hard to do as a one man band.
