Move lumbar support on stock seat?

[FrankPa]

I know this has been touched on in several places, but nothing current, so it seems.

I'm looking for pros and cons of haveing a shop resculpt the stock seat to move the lumbar support rearwards 2-3 inches.

I'm 6'4" and I feel as though my sitting position would be more comfortable with my but back a bit.

ALL comments are welcome (except those about my butt)...

If only I could learn how to type (or at least proofread)...

Oh, well...

A local trim (auto/motorcycle upholstery) shop could likely do the job for you. Some will even change or supplement the foam if that is needed. Custom seat builders like Russell Day-Long will completely rebuild your seat to your wishes (within reason). My feeling is that if you can get the work done reasonably locally, it would be worth a try. At very least it would tell you whether what you wanted actually works for you, in case you decided to purchase a custom seat later. If the worst happens, you could still send the seat base to Russell Day-Long for a rebuild, or you could purchase a Corbin seat. What have you got to lose but a few bucks? Go for it!

6'4" here too. Sent my seat out to Russell Cycle and got it redone. Called a Day Long seat. Pricey, but worth every bit.
