Title: Seat height
Post by: Hoodie on 05 August 2019, 07:40:39 pm

Hi....I've an 02 foxeye that had a non standard seat when I got it. I'm trying to find out if it's lower than standard. If I sit a straight edge along the pillion seat the drop to the riders seat is 5". Can anyone tell me if that is lower than standard? I'looking for options to reduce the bend in my knees.
Thanks in advance.

My 2003 Foxeye has the standard seat. With a wooden metre ruler layed flat on the pillion seat it's about 3 and a half inches from that to the lowest point of the riders seat (see pic).
