[QUOTE="Goldtop, post: 201116, member: 5268"] It's a little difficult to see in my pictures but this is a 1980 standard. It has the same seat you have on yours and as you can see the seating position for the driver and pax are very comfortable. If my pax was on the same level then he would not be able to see too much and would be just too close to me. The stepped seat lends itself to the pax leaning back away from the driver. You mentioned adjusting the seat but consider the other adjustments. Look first at the gear and brake lever. They are adjustable. I found I had perhaps better way of getting it right is to adjust the pitch of the handle bars. Then seat on mine is on the middle setting and there is no rocking so recheck the fitting. It easy to mis align. Those chrome strips on the seat are a bitch to get over here. The seat line in your picture flows well from front screen to back rack. Its a sort of wave flow line. Its a big part of the wings character. Be careful not to change this signature part of its look. It will end up looking like a sling back shoe otherwise.
