DR650 - McDonalds Trimmers Tauranga

[NordieBoy]

I was wondering this too as the seat that Nordieboy modded massively was... a Corbin... hmmm

Only cause my bike came with a Corbin.
My main aim was raising the height 5cm or so. If it was more comfortable then I'd just have to live with it.

I would have been happier using a standard pan and rebuilding it completely as it's lighter and more flexible.

Actually I still wouldn't mind getting hold of a standard seat and modding it for height but keeping it slim for the rougher rides as I'm standing more now.

Hey was your issue about having your legs cramped up, and needing to straighten them out a bit more by raising the seat ? Just thats something I noticed when comparing the DR to the KLR I tried. The ergo's were better for me on the KLR for that reason. I'm thinking I will get my bike lowered, and when I get McDonalds to do the seat, make it a bit higher to achieve the leg position I want. Does that make sense ????

You want to lower the bike and lengthen the seat to peg distance.
I wanted to make the seated to standing transition easier.

I am also going to lower the pegs and move them back a bit.

I'm 6'2".

Yes you are right ... I want to lengthen the seat to peg, but not the seat to ground distance.

And yes I can see why you would need to lengthen things! I'm only a nats whisker under 5" 11".
