the seats are afaik all the same.

if you waant to lower the bike you can fit the linkage upside down and it will drop the reaar by about an inch.
obviously set up the front to suit.
ive done this to mine and it feels tiny now lol, handles a lot better too ;)

Is it a standard seat? As there is a noticeable space to allow the clip on seat cowl to fit.

Post some pics so we can take a gander.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

i have the same problem, i know there is always a gap as the seat steps up from the front lower end to the higher rear end, but mine still doesn't seem to fit right, i even took the seat to tony's today and checked it against his seat and it fitted ok, so i'll have a look at the rear subframe, i lnow you can play with the metal loops that the seat hooks into, it should be fun, watch me fook it up and break it..... :lol:
