How does it feel compared to stock? I have a 2011 SE and wish it was about 2 inches higher, and not so slippery.. ALot of the time I feel like Im slipping forward on the seat and have to reposition myself quite a bit back

Coma toast, just buy one. You won't regret it. I experienced the exact conditions you're describing. Last TY ride is the first time I got off my XTX and my knees didn't ache... AT ALL! No more nuthugging the gas tank and pushing myself back . I'm 6'3" with a 36" inseam, and my hips and knees are just level.

You will like it. On mine, it was at least a few inches higher, plus I hardly sink into in, yet after a 200 mile day, not all groomed, I would be 3 inches into the old seat and the cover wrinkled. It feels like I'm 5 inches higher. You do have to lean more now as the cg is higher. But thats fun and makes it feel lighter.It feels higher than 2 inches for sure. Totally transforms the sled. And I haven't even riden it yet. 50°here today. Green grass

What kind of stapler and staples did everyone use? I can't find any to fit my gun that are short enough

22 bucks at Harbor frieght...figured a one shot deal, but it works great... I think 40 lbs on the compressor
shot the 1/4 inch in perfectly. And I won't live long enough to see the staples rust. Stainless is overkill imo.

I am seriously going to have to look at getting a WRP seat. My Attak is nearly perfect for me and I think the extra 2" will be the ticket to perfection.

I got an adjustable riser on and it feels sweet. The seat should be here monday

The stock 6 " riser is perfect for me, but I had a 5 on before.
