[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 94577, member: 60"] I reduced the height of the squab in the extended seat to that of a standard one you could do the same with a standard one a professional upholsterer will do a good job mine cost £20 I have not found the twin a problem but on The Comet suggest I spent some time on the problem fitting folding footrests buy them from spares company or make them from LH footrest hangers and (say) Meriden Triumph pillion footrests. Lowering the front bracket is less problematical if seat is fully spring but there is not a lot of room to tank fixings Radical seat lowering can lead to cramp in riders legs on a Comet (ask my wife!) Finally 18 inch wheels and boots with thicker soles or suspension adjustment may be needed.Go slowly with mods it's suprisng what even half an inch can do [/QUOTE]
