I definitely need to have the seat raised a bit, even an inch or so because I'm still having difficulty riding the 1100 with my yet-unrepaired left knee.
It will be much easier to raise the seat height than to lower the pegs. Undecided
Because I have no health insurance, the knee surgery will be an out-of-pocket expense. I still owe approx $900 on the repair of my right knee; got to get that one paid off before I deal with the left one.
As it is right now, I'm only good for about 20 minutes riding time before I have to get my leg off the left peg. I have found out that I can actually rest my shin on the rider peg to relieve the pain (I wear Sidi boots) but that is no way to ride! I enjoy riding with the balls of my feet on the pegs but only my right leg can handle that at this point. I'm planning to be financially ready for surgery by the end of June.
Ooops. Got a bit off-topic there. Again, Thanks for the input from Sargent.
Ride Safe.

Jim in the meantime you might try a gel pad. My brother has one on his bonneville. Raises his seat height 3/4" I think and the gel is easier on his rear than the stock Bonnie board plank. Just clips on. The edge of the seat.
