New seat

[DGShannon_imp]

Is it just me? I sit right up next to the tank on both my bikes. I wouldn't be able to ride sitting that far back. I tried on my CB the other day and just couldn't make it work.

I've always sat close to the tanks on bikes. Edit to add: Can anybody comment on this?

Nope. Not just you. I do the same. You will find that most people with dirt bike experience have this habit, along with always riding with the balls of your feet on the pegs.

Never thought of that as the reason how I ride this CB. Rode dirt bikes since 1971. BTW, I'm 6'4 tall

6'3" here, so it has nothing to do with being short! Grow up on dirt bikes, and it just becomes instinct. Centered on the bike, weight over the front, good leverage on the bars, balls of the feet on the pegs ready to stand at any moment. Don't think I could break the habit, even if I tried. Occasionally, if I have been riding a good while, and my butt is aching, I will slide back on the seat. But, it feels really unnatural, and I don't stay there for long. Subconsciously, I slide ride back up front.
