raise the front of the rider seat??????

[skiski111]

Hi all.
i hope this is in the right section but if not ill take my telling off and repost if someone lets me know.
i am eagerly awaiting my new (to me) 2015 RT which is hopefully coming this week after dealer gets service done. i fell in love with the bike and am trading in my beloved and trustworthy 2009 K1300S against it. the only problem i found on the test ride was i felt i was being pushed slightly forward in the seat. the studs at the rear were in their lowest position and the front was in the high position but i feel this might not be enough for me. Do any of you peeps know of a solution without going to the expense of a custom seat (sergent etc etc) it looks, on quick inspection that it might be possible to raise the front seat assembly by putting a washer or two under it thus lowering the rear. any help would be appreciated if anyone has had similar issue. i have an airhawk but was hoping this beast might not require it.
thanks in advance

I bought my bike (2017MY) with the high seat. I'm barely 5'11" with an inside leg measurement somewhere between 31" & 32" and I can have my seat in the high position and still get my feet pretty well flat on the ground. That gives me the most comfortable position on the bike, but I don't like to see the gap between the base of the seat and the side panel.
I'm in the process of buying a used seat with the intention of getting it re-upholstered. When I had this done for my previous bike (the last of the air-cooled models) I had the seat made slightly flatter, with the front slightly higher than the rear, and the whole thing raised to finish up 20mm higher. That made a significant difference to comfort for me.
I'm sure lots of upholsterers could do it but I used these people : http://www.sussexmotorcycles.com/elite- ... seats.html

I have read of people putting a couple of washers under the front seat clamp bolts. That is enough to raise the front of the seat

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Will probably try the washers first but will check out upholsterers just in case. Cheers.
