R1100RT seat

[redbud]

Just got home from a 400 mile ride and can hardly move. 1996 R1100RT that I have had several weeks. I had my stock seat lowered so I could reach the ground but it is miserable. I'm a lady 5'5" and 115 lb. Does anyone in the Phoenix area have a single front seat that you would loan me (or sell to me cheap)while I send mine to Spencers to get the front tilt taken out?

You could try adding additional spacers to the front (adjusting) mechanisms. That's a common way to make the seat not tilt so much forward.

Redbud,

 

I will ditto what Woodie says. Additionally, my experience was to buy a used seat on ebay and send it off to Rick Mayer to have a custom seat built. I then sold my old Corbin seat on ebay.

 

BTW, Welcome to the forum, hope to hear a lot more from you. You have a great bike, hope you can get it comfortable.

If all you're doing is taking the front tilt out, don't send it out. Just add spacers as advised above, or just slice a very small slice out of the rear bumpers under the seat. Use a sharp knife and take off only a little at a time. Make a small cut, try it, then cut more if necessary. You'll probably only need about 1/4 - 3/8 inch. It makes a world of difference, costs nothing, and takes 10 minutes.
