Good luck with sale P47. It sounds a very good price.
But.......my question is in regards to the seats.
I'm about 6'4" and have lowered the pegs with the Cymarc kit. Much better. I'm currently using the standard seat which I know requires altering/changing.
Did you find much difference between standard and high seat OEM offerings?
I will be retaining the peg lowerers which work really well, not low enough to drag your boots everywhere but great added comfort. But the standard seat is weird, you sort of sink into a hole which pitches me rearwards.
I'd love to hear your views.

Hi Upt'North , the taller seat made a difference for me , I'm 6ft but long legs. the footpegs lowered and the taller seat lessened the bending in my knees , not massively but enough to notice the difference. plus the seat is alot more comfy than the standard it doesn't 'bottom out' due to its extra padding.

Thanks for that. Nice to know.
I don't know whether I will go oem tall seat and modify or just modify the standard seat. I'm thinking standard but summer is for riding not messing.

"fitted with Optimate charger which is not included"
So are you removing it or charging extra for it?
Not buying, merely seeking clarification .
