couple things you can do is get an apex seat. it will bolt right on to your rx1, but the light you might have to switch out.
there is a big boy rear spring that will handle a little better on the bumps and sit you up a little higher.and you can buy some risers for the handle bars i like mine at 4 inches but everyone has different preferences

Also how much higher is the apex seat compared to the tx1

 

[Jigger]

Yup apex mnt seat will work. Can't recall the height gained but it's around 4 inches.

 

[rx1yamaha2003]

apex mtn seat is a bit firmer and the reg. apex seat has a more plush kind of seat, both around 4 inches higher like jigger said

I did the seat on my 03 with a 2 inch riser block and it feels amazing, the only down fall is I catch a little more wind when sitting down but i'll take the colder face for the added comfort. It has been a rough start to winter for me, my 05 with a broken transfer rod and the 03 running on 2 cylinders, I'm hoping to have them both ready to go by the end of the weekend.

Apex seat mod is

Here is the Big Blue RX-1 next to a friends Apex. Mountain seat, five inch risers, mountain cables, big boy shock Hy Gear revalve equals RAPEX ;-). Handles a lot better too!

Like stated in above posts the apex mountain seat is a bit firmer and if you are taller you will like it much better. I installed a mountain seat on my rx1 and it is more comfotable to ride than my wifes 06 attack because of the softer seat on the attack. I am 6'1" and all I used was a 2" riser increase and it is plenty comfotable. I am a sit down rider but If you stand up to ride, you will want a taller riser. With the 2" riser you can keep the stock throttle and brake cable, any longer you will have to get longer cables. Hope this helps
