Hey Joe H...
It looks like I'm gonna take your advice after all and get rid of that damned fuel tank riser after all... I tried the seats in the light of day and they look super BUT there's not a lot of head room to play with being my height... the new seats will
almost mount correctly but in order to do it right I think the base has gotta go...
If I leave it the way it is and install the seats on the base, every time I go over railroad tracks or hit a bump I'm gonna knock myself loopy banging the top of my head on the roof... not good! Thanks for the "heads up" (pun intended) on this one...
