a big thanks to all for your comments. i've just picked one comment
to respond to all of you. based on the comments, think i'll check out
sargents along w/rms and ufo products. while my inseam is only 30"
w/my bike lowered already, my feet are planted, unlike my zx10 w/
the shock under your butt. my concern was more for cramped legs
as either the rms and ufo seats get a big thumbs up for comfort.
thanks again to all.
