Just got 2010 RS SE5. Rode it today. and I love it. Have always been a snowmobiler, and this is pretty close. Cant wait to get at the mods. Hand brake first. Bad knee. Then all the heat relief mods. Does anyone know of a way to raise seat height? I am fabbing some floor boards, but a little more Butt height would be nice. Thanks for all the help this site has been before my purchase, seems like a great bunch of people.

:congrats: & :welcome: This is just my opinion, but I don't think you'd really want to raise your seat height :lecturef_smilie: as that would raise your center of gravity and that could cause you all kinds of handling issues, especially in the twisties. I have noticed some ryders use seat cusions for extended ryding, and those would raise you up a little, so maybe something like that would help you :dontknow: Either way, Welcome to the SpyderHood & Enjoy the Ryde :yes::yes:

Another option to help your knee would be footboards or highway pegs. With the hand brake, you would still be safe, and your center of mass would remain lower.
