Lowered ?

Post by sgilbert14 »

I have a question for anyone using the stock seat. Is it set low? Why, I am 5' 11" and the bike has the heel to toe shifter on it. This weekend I installed the stock seat back on the bike to test it and it sat so low it became a bother picking my leg up to shift gears. Are they normally this low? I wanted to compare ride height between the Corbin and the stock and as of now the winner if the Corbin.

I am 6'2" and yes the stock seat is low.
The corbin was probably made for someone like you who is fairly tall .
If you prefer the look of the stock seat you could get extra padding added to fit your height.
That's one of the reasons went back to a 1300 .
