I am 6' and sometimes feel i need a little bit more leg extension when riding.
Saw the bike, liked the look, bought the bike... now reading up that there are slightly bigger versions for the taller rider XB12LONG... i have the XB12S.
SO...is there any way to raise the seat or the distance between my butt and the foot pegs to make it feel a little bit less crampped..if i have to i will suffer but is there a way?????
Cheers
Justin

A gel pad works great. I have one with the fuzzy wool cover :D

The CityX seat is the the tallest of the stock seat. Even taller the the Ss. 30.1" for the 12S vs. 31.4" for the CityX. Other aftermarket seats may be taller but I'm not sure.

What about the lowered foot pegs they sell for the firebolts?

the firebolt lowered pegs are the stock pegs on the xb12s, the xb9sx seat is the only option that I know of, other than doing something yourself...
