    Great idea.... actually did this for my e-bike. Was fun to watch them shape the foam then you get to select from a large range of different finishing material. On the e-bike i had them replace the front and rear forks which gave me a lot of extra height overall on the bike (can that be done on a moto without messing up the handling/safety of it etc?). 2 extra inches from that would be great (and hopefully not look weird :) )

    I'll take a look at the bike over the weekend, im sure i'll be able to sit on it in the store. Last time i went to a bike store i saw a lot of hondas, they were so small that they looked a bit like toys.

    I'll keep the thread updated, will visit the school soon and start when i get my new visa next month.

    Basically final question for now: what is considered a normal seat height on a sport bike for someone around 6 foot 1? I guess it also depends on where the foot pegs are but a rough estimate would be nice. TY.
