I found that with boots on I am 6ft 4 ,one can see in my picture how high my legs are I just feeling of needing a bit more room ,,so I took the hump off tried it with on off,seems I can get one inch back on the seat with my butt,an the hump made me feel like no whear to go ,I wonder whear I can find good seat cover  or better ideas then my washer set up ,I will try rideing it like this to start off spring pic,they don't pock my butt,has anyone elce found the hump a pain,other ? the rear fender in the picture was  loose ,all I found was 2 nuts up under that I tightened an is much better ,? are there more bolt holding that one there I figure there has to be ,as the lower one has 5 ,thanks I guess I could paint the washer an bolt black to better match an use a bigger one so no tears I just used what I had laying around

they're  all a little different ,mine is held mostly by those 2 bolts and it screws into the side plastics too.

ok thank you I was thinking that as it is much tighter now ,that is one thing I still have to do with the pdi is check all the rear plastics

You can remove the seat and take it to an auto or boat upholster to recover.
Try auto first as marine people can be pricy.

I recovered my seat and it turned out ok..... Used the old cover for a pattern.

We have a lot of upholster/furniture shops around here, I'm going to get all my seats done this year.
