Rider seat

I had to go down to McDonalds in Tauranga yesterday to get my seat fine tuned. Mac did it while I waited, wouldn't take any money for it - that's service.
It's hard to tell if it's done the trick, because I only used to start to fidget after 400 plus k's. But so far so good.
The weird thing is that I'm sitting about 10mm's lower now and the first dry corners I threw it into resulted in me giving my boots a good scraping rather than just touching down.
The bike is actually handling differently (better).
Now the footpegs obviously haven't moved, so is the different seating position causing me to lean further faster?

Its interesting the effect that you can get just altering something slightly like that eh?

Could it be comfort giving rise to better riding?

Lower seating giving lower COG, maybe better cornering? Perhaps you are just more sensitive to it at present?
Or maybe you're just crazy and imagining the whole thing?
Enjoy the difference and improvement anyway.

Guess it's a cheaper alternative to liposuction, probably hurts a shitload less too.

I want a Corbin's Gunfighter for my ZZR, priced it once and forgot about it.

Guess alterations to the original might be worth considering?

Yes maximus

you can only get a corbin now if you import your own, and works out hugely expensive over all. Ours over all are much different, since they come off assebley line pretty much, ours are custom made to suit the owner. since everyone has a different type of ass etc etc

We done alot of zzr1100 seats.
