Has anyone raised the seat on their viper? I would like to get my seat up another 1.5 to 2 inches to help the transition from sitting to standing. My first thought is to fashion a block to install under the seat, any thoughts? My second question is if I would have to adjust suspension if I do raise it. If I only raised the back would I put more pressure on the skis possibly increasing the tendency to push. Maybe lengthen the limiter strap a bit?

Yes, mtx seat is a bit higher, not sure how much but at least an inch, you can also undo the staple's and add more padding if needed.
I'm 6'3" and I find the mtx seat to be the perfect height for transitioning from standing to sitting and I ride a lot standing.
The MTX seat is at least 2" higher. It is hard to see in the picture but look at the hump just back from the tank fascia.
If you want lower I got that also.
