I've been reading through the forum and I can't seem to find a good solution for adding a couple of inches on the seat of my Bonneville. The Scrambler seat sounds like it may be a tad higher but have any of you gotten a custom seat to get the sitting position up at least a inch or two?

An Airhawk cushion would add a little bit.An upholstery shop or my favorite,a boat top shop,can add foam for lift and then take care of the now mandatory seat recovering. Trade rear shocks with a Thrux owner who`s looking to lower his bike,and you get a quick 1" lift,and a bit better handling to boot. Thats a few options.

Trade that T100 on a Scrambler :-D
32.5" seat height, better looking, more fun, etc.

Getting the Scrambler seat seems like and easy solution, but...
is the Scrambler seat itself that much thicker than the stock Bonneville seat? Or is the entire Scrambler frame and seat that gets you up to 32.5"?

I think its the Thrux length shocks that give it the added inch.
