I had a custom seat built for me by a woman close to home and it made a world of difference. I strongly urge ST owners to look into a custom seat that fits them. It changed the bike. I will be putting a riser on as well.

At 5'8", the seating position for me is ideal. The windshield did present a problem with cold/wet hands,but since 2007 I installed some wind deflector winglets and that took care of that. Overall...it's my best bike out of my collection for long distance travelling.

Purchased a Russel day long seat and never looked back.(Also have one on my KLR) Also put the largest Cal sci windscreen on.

I also find the seat uncomfortable and covered my first one with a Alaskan Sheep Skin which helped a little but not enough. This time I am putting on a different seat(probably a Rick Mayer.) I also had a riser on mine and probably wont' do it again depending on how the seat fits me. I think though the bike is pretty heavy it is an absolutely fantastic machine. I also credit the crash bar design for saving my leg when I went down. Though the bike went out from under me, it never touched my lower leg. I hate to think what would have happened to it if I had been riding a BMW or Concours. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930284786461765394.post-29093832473604535442013-01-03T21:33:27.952-06:002013-01-03T21:33:27.952-06:00I changed about 15 tourers/cruisers in the past 12...I changed about 15 tourers/cruisers in the past 12 years, mainly bemmers like the GT,RS,RT and LT, and I had to replace the seat with an aftermarket one on all of them.<br />I just got a 2007 ST with very few miles. My main complaint for now is the cold air flow ( it is winter right now )on my hips when I raise the windshield.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930284786461765394.post-61796069126060878162012-12-26T23:59:17.678-06:002012-12-26T23:59:17.678-06:00Hi, I really like your post you done a great jobs ...Hi, I really like your post you done a great jobs .
