Underseat cushion rubbers.
« on: September 09, 2014, 11:45:17 »
I have just removed the 4 underseat cushion rubbers. Is there any reason that I should not do this.

Thanks.

Geoff.

You got your bike pretty quick there, geoff! Congratulations!

Some just take off the front rubbers to lower seat height a bit. Make sure there are no cables crossing the frame (I have an older model 650/wee so yours might be different).

Might be some increased vibes? Chance of wearing the edge out of the vinyl seat cover against the frame over time...

hi  I cut mine in half with a junior hack saw so as not to catch any cables and very pleased with the new seat height
